ON ALERT - B-47 JATO TAKEOFF |
| ABOVE- B-47 JATO TAKEOFF AUGUST 22, 1952 PRESS PHOTO FROM EBAY |
| PRESENT DAY - JATO BOTTLES AS THEY ARE MOUNTED ON A C-130. THESE ARE INERT UNITS USED FOR TRAINING PURPOSES |
| The above GIF movie is composed of six still images from a 1951 B-47 magazine Ad that I purchased on ebay. I digitally cut out each image and then plugged them into a GIF-Animator. The resulting movie is crude but it gives the viewer a feel for the rocket like JATO takeoff and the steep climb-out of the B-47. It must have been a wild ride for the crew. |
