B-36 "Peacemaker" I think I've seen one of those, at the Castle Air Museum, Ex-Castle Air Force Base, Atwater, California. Don't have a pic handy. ISTR it originally had 4 turbo-prop engines, and two jets were retro-fit to help on take-off due to the weight of the nuclear bombs it carried. Or was it 4 small jets and two pusher-props for take-off? Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired ID: 1720115 ·

Weren't there a few aircraft that had both prop engines and jet engines? The US Navy Flight Demonstration Team, "The Blue Angels", has a C-130 Hercules with the usual 4 turbo-prop engines, and two strap-on jet engines for "Jet-Assisted Take-Off (JATO). That aircraft is one of several that they travel with, that carry spare parts and ground support equipment. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired ID: 1720124 ·
