I think it also retains the distinction of being the only aircraft to have dropped an H-bomb on the mainland USA. Accidentally
Yes, whoops- gotta make sure that pin is in properly. Others were lost over the USA from a B-47 and the the B-52- the B-52 was due to a inflight breakup and a B-47 jettisoned one, please let the folks in South Carolina know if you hook one on your fishing line.

How many Flight Engineers ? One or two ?
Some versions of the B-36 had one flight engineer, some two. Gets rather complicated between the versions, modifications, weight reduction programs....
