I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

RAFEng, I was sceptical about that claim until I saw on wiki that a B36 Feather weight III could reach 47,000 feet. On the Might ceiling though I think they could reach 50k.

More likely they could not fly slowly enough to intercept the B36.
