"The B-36 Peacemaker would take off on Feb. 13, 1950, from Eielson Air Force Base in Fairbanks, Alaska, fly south off the Canadian coast, on a simulated bombing run over San Francisco before flying home to Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth."

Alaska and Texas nuke San Francisco. Now that is what I call a prescient training mission. ;-)
As a child back in 1954-55, in Farmington New Mexico, I saw one fly low over the city, heading south. The thing I really remembered was the propellers were on the back end of the engines.
