Lotta big round engines from B-29/50 to B-36 on display and also
 many other piston types not SAC oriented both domestic and foreign.

 Wrenchhead heaven for me anyway.

 I am interested in B36 engine pictures if you go again. Especially
 the turbo charger systems. Rumor had it the B36 could climb higher
 than the jets at the time.

I  have photos stashed away somewhere of cut-away P&W R-4360
28-cylinder 4-row radial. I'll try and locate. Might be easier
to ride to Omaha. Last issue EAA sport Aviation had article about
DC-7B with sidebar about turbo compound Wright R-3350 which utilized
three "power recovery turbines" driving crankshaft via fluid
couplings as quoted in article. Now has me wondering how power
recovery applied to R-4360.

I think the Navy version DC-7B  a C-118. Flew on similar
aircraft Norfolk to Guantanamo back in '72. Not cush like DC-7B.
Box lunch, noisey oil-spewing engines,  zig-zagging  between
thunder heads entire trip. Better than C-140 though as you at
least get a window.
