IIRC, the B-25 was the ultimate victor, with one round of antimatter ammo.

Ooooops, should I have said "SPOILER ALERT" first? Sorry. :lol:

An ANG B-25...probably California.

I was recently reading about the 55th SRW out of Lockborne, OH.
After a sensitive recon mission the RB-47 crew was summoned to Offutt to meet Gen LeMay. They took a B-25...a base/wing hack I suppose.
I'd like to see photos of non-trainer B-25s of the 50s.

How did this not make the news? It wasn't on CNN or fox. does anyone know whose A/C were damaged?

Looks like one of the muppets seen doing a musical number on the Muppet Show.

I remember this movie, they used that to release some type of radioactive material onto the creature to weaken it for a conventional attack (as if something radioactive can't be damaged/harmed up with explosives or projectiles, a trope in movies that still exists if you've seen the newer Godzilla movies).

After the original post, I recalled that the first encounter with the Flying Battleship, a bird from another planet. was either a T-33 or an F-94 that was patrolling either the DEW or the MEW line.

I have not watched this movie in close to 50 years!

Saludos,

Bir was composed of Antimatter.

The funny looking cannon on the B-25, fired ¨Mu Mesons¨ (sp?) that in the end, managed to bring the bird down.

The fact that confuse me though, was that if the bird was antimatter, how come the hunters who discovered the nest somwhere in Canada, shot at the eggs with rifles, and pierced the shells, with the massive loss of yolk following?
