You Airmen are sharp. The aircraft look great! Y'all make me proud to have been part of it all. God bless you all and keep you. Take care.

Some years back we were on vacation from the UK and driving up Interstate 49. Two B52s flew low over the Interstate on their way into Barksdale. To be honest I didn’t even know if they were still in service. What an awesome sight!
-
It had to have been the most amazing yet terrifying thing to be near a B-52 strike in Vietnam. The amount of ordinance they could drop one after the other, so high up you dont know its coming, was just insane. Guys would get lifted off the ground, said the ground felt like jello.

Awesome photography ..... TDA just gets better and better each time I stop by! :)
-
Pretty awesome to see !!!! Thanks to all of Service members who protect our families and friends ❤

When Fairchild was a SAC base we had those flying around all the time. While it makes you feel sort of secure, it also makes you realize you're a nuclear target should the SHTF. Also had one crash just before an air show and you could see the smoke for many miles away...

I spent my early USAF years in SAC and my CA. base had the tall tail "D" models, which also had the gunner's seating position in the back of the tail. It was super cool to watch the crews "Alert Scramble" with the starter carts popping off to quick start the engines( Loud & Smokey!)! I got the significance of an actual "Scramble" with the "MITO", but the exercises sure were Cool!!

2:10 those are Coffman starter cartridges going off to spin up the turbines. They use those regularly on alert pad aircraft that are not equipped with air start motors. This system will evolve into air start motors exclusively with the re-engingeing the B-52 with Rolls-Royce F130's. Oh, and the refitted and overhauled B-52's will be called B-52J.

We lived close to Barksdale when I was little, before the fall of the Soviet Union. I would watch these B52s fly over without any notion of their mission. I would imagine in that day, they were loaded with nuclear armament. On another note, I used to always call it Barksdale Airport Space - made sense to five year old me.

Una de las curiosidades del B52. Es que se encienden al mejor estilo del modelo T. Las últimas versiones tienen APU.

Very old Air Force joke, 'When the B-1 is retired the crew delivering the last aircraft to the boneyard will be flown home on a B-52.'

Lived on this base (Barksdale AFB in Bossier City, LA) for a total of nine years across two of my dad's assignments (he flew the KC-10s and 135s) in the 80s and 90s. Great place to grow up, and always fascinating to see (and hear, and feel) the planes overhead. 52s are shake-your-windows loud on takeoff.

This is still one of the Baddest Beasts in the American Air Force Fleet, and each time they do an upgrade it just gets better! The most feared Bomber in the World!
-
I'm a former SAC SP from Carswell AFB, TX. Spent 4 years with the B 52D. Beautiful old aircraft!
-
B-52s used to fly right over my apartment in Fort Worth, TX when Carswell was a USAFB. This brings back memories.
-
It's worth mentioning for any new people that the B-52 is not the same design they've been using since the '50s and they just make more of them every now and then, they're literally the same planes they've been using this whole time—They only made so many in the '50s and '60s and those are all the ones there are still today, very well taken care of.
-
Wow! Such a majestic aircraft! Thanks to all military officers for your service. You're the best! ❤
-
I remember the B-52's as kid in Arkansas watching them flying over during the Vietnam war in late 1960's. They were stationed at Blytheville, Arkansas then and very loud and proud.
-
My grandfather was a pilot in the US Army Air Corps and then switch to the US Air Force, when it was established but one of the planes he was a pilot for was the B-52.
-
As a military dependent at Zaragosa Air Base, Spain, I watched and listened to hundreds of F-16's takeoff/landing drills. I'm here to tell ya, they are LOUD!😮
