Thanks guys, Ed will have to look when I get home, Honestly I don't remember. All the pictures I have posted so far where taken by me. I still have not looked at my son's pictures. Pictures of the Shackleton where taken at Pima and they had over 400 aircraft on display.Appears to be a B-23 in civies behind the Shackleton. Did you get shots of it?

Pima is a trip, we took two days and probably could have done another one. Not all the pictures we have posted are from this museum and the other museums are posted in the first thread. By far this was the largest museum on this trip. Not all aircraft here are fully restored but are waiting for full restoration. I think between my son and I we have over 3000 pictures or more from the museums. Most are of propeller planes though some jets I have more of. They still have new aircraft coming in to add to the collection. Most of the fully restored planes are indoors in one of the many 6 buildings. They have the room but they probably will need to build another one as the current ones are filling up.
Here you go, what I have on the B-36, combination of what both my son and I took.I'd love to check out the B-36. That is a great collection.
IMHO those are B-25 engines with postwar Bendix Stromberg carburetors. As per this site the engines are WRIGHT C14AB AC BA (Reciprocating). I'm not sure how this designation corresponds to the R-2600 of the Mitchell-family. The original engines of the Privateer are Pratt & Whitney R-1830 though.Once they restore they hope to mount them back on this aircraft. I think you can figure out where they go

P.S. Just saw that I'm late for the party - this particular detail was already discussed, starting here.
