... B-36 maintenance: Greenland!


... ground crew scrape ice off the wing of a B-36 strategic bomber at Thule AFB in Greenland. Keeping bombers closer to Russia in Greenland was a constant logistics nightmare. It was done on a rotational basis. The gigantic B-36's were too big for any hangars and had to be kept out in the open; subjected to the incredibly harsh Arctic environment.
