48 Hour Photo Comp: Heavy Bombers
Real bombers. Not strike aircraft dressed up but things that can ruin your whole weekend and those of the neighbours for several blocks around. Any age, any propulsion.

The Tupolev Tu-22, the first supersonic bomber to enter production in the then Soviet Union. On display at the Russian Air Force Museum at Monino.

One of only four complete airframes remaining, the B-36 was the largest mass-produced piston-engined aircraft ever built.

3 from me
Handley Pages penultimate heavy bomber.
Two for the price of one. Cold war warriors.
The last Handley Page heavy Bomber and the best looking heavy bomber too!
Btw the last 2 Pictures show 3 aircraft which with the Vulcan were all first flown in 1952! Quite a good crop that year.

I was going to just ogle this thread for its wonderfulness, but decided to throw these in to the mix instead:
First, a B-52 from down low (I expect I had fallen over)

Moody, menacing...
DSC04893 by Chris Strawson, on Flickr
This is probably cheating, but I expect it was quite 'heavy' at the time

Re: 48 Hour Photo Comp: Heavy Bombers
Two from me, both from the recent BTF at Fairford, as to me the B-52 is the iconic heavy bomber.

Less visible rivets in a later Boeing bomber. (What crowd barriers?!)

Nice to be reminded what a great looking aircraft the B17 is from any angle.
