Yours truly, photographing the B-36 at Castle Air Museum (see the previous 3 posts for in-camera double exposures of this plane). Under the wing on the right is the casing for an MK-17 thermonuclear bomb (1954–1957): Length – 24 feet, 8 inches...Weight – 42,500 pounds. The B-36 was the only plane that could carry it.
