"Mike Marron"

Plausible scenario (given money was no object) but who wants to fly
huge, heavy and cumbersome bombers for fun? In order to maximize the
sheer enjoyment of flight -- less is more and the lighter the better.

Probably not very practical and very costly to fly a B36! As for
wanting to fly one, a number of WWII bombers like the B25, B17, B24,
Lancaster, etc are kept in flying condition by various organizations and
possibly some well healed individuals.. Sadly, fewer every year. I'd be
first in line for a ride in one! Why not early production jet bombers?
Cost, cost cost, I expect. It is costly keeping an F-86 in the air let
alone a B47 or B36. Too bad! :-(
