Convair B-36

Instrument panel and center console.  Most instruments were removed from USAF Museum aircraft because 
of the radiation hazard presented by the radium in the dial lettering.  Bummer.  Just who was the bureaucrat 
that made that decision.  I have heard that there are a lot of really old guys around that sat next to those instruments 
for thousands of hours.  How did they get that old if there really was so much danger from the radium?
