Robmack, Brab was Bigger!!

The Brabazon was bigger in every way than the B-36, other
than Wingspan which was the same.

B36 Wingspan 230', Lenght 162', Height 46' 9"

Brabazon Wingspan 230' Lenght 177' Height 50'

What was bigger than the Brabazon was the XC-99
Double decked Civil prototype derived from the B-36

XC-99 Wingspan 230' Length 182' 6", Height 57' 6"

I saw theXC-99 in the 90s at Kelly Air Base, San Antonio Texas.
It was in a sorry sad state, not sure if it still survives.
