“Four burning and six turning, eh?”
A real episode.
A B52 lost an engine and declared an emergency. A pilot (probably a fighter jock) did not identify himself but simply said, “The dreaded 7 engine approach.”
” four burning six turning ..”
Sound to me you’re describer the old B36 Peacemaker.
A predecessor to the B52.
