    In the foreground is the XC-99 model. Even more interesting is the model behind and to the left. Basically a reworked B-36 Peacemaker with swept wings and 8 Pratt and Whitney J57 jet engines, Convair proposed this aircraft to the Air Force as the YB-60. Two aircraft were built, but the faster and better flying Boeing B-52 Stratofortress won the contract.

    I remember the model being in storage. I don't know what happened to it.

    I remember seeing the C-99 parked on the edge of the tarmac at Kelly Air Force Base before the storm damage!
