Major Kong: "I'm going to get them doors open if it harelips everybody on Bear Creek!"
My Great-grandpa was born in 1868, was eight years old when Custer was killed, and lived long enough to see the B-52 come into service. I still remember him.
Wonder how many others have a connection to the past. Today’s youth have never known people from the wild old days.
They’d be a nice solution for that last enclave of ISIS holdouts in Syria.
They are beautiful birds
By landing at the RAF base the B-52s are already involved even if they only go home when they next they fly.
My dad flew in B-36s and B-47s when he was in SAC. This was when the US always had nuclear equipped bombers in the air at all times. Long after he retired, he told me they had orders to bomb Leningrad if they got the green light.
For planes that go halfway back to Kitty Hawk they are still awesome.
If a bear sh-ts in the woods, was a Buff the last thing it ever heard?
“the largest US bomber deployment to the UK”
What for? To defend the Islamic Republic of Formerly Great Britain?
The country that bans American commentators who have mainstream American views? Are there any hard line British Communists prevented from entering the United States?
Other then Tommy Robinson, Nigel Farage and the remnant English population outside London, Birmingham and the other Muslimized areas, there’s nothing there and no one left who we have any connection to. No reason to deploy military assets to defend our enemies.
Oh, puleeze. Much ado about nothing. The only people trolling Russia are the msm.
Only a stupid-assed fool would allow Georgia to join NATO.
The US must not have any part in encouraging it.
Weren’t B-52s the Wright brothers design. They are so ancient they’re no threat to Russia.
Good old B-52 workhorses with their droopy wings.
Boy that looks familiar. I deployed to RAF Fairford during Desert Storm. Every morning the B-52’s took off heavy and returned at night after off loading their bombs over Iraq. Nothing spells US power like a flight of B-52’S flying overhead on the way to war. It still makes an impression on me. Can’t imagine what thousands of heavy bombers flying on their way to Nazi Germany must have looked like and felt like during WW2. East Anglia was just one big airfield in those days.
This is nice and all but the fact is that bombers and land based missile silos are all assets that can be targeted and neutralized. The key to our nuclear deterrent is an asset that cannot be targeted or neutralized. Specifically the ballistic missile submarines. And they are out there, all the time, ready to strike. And Putin knows it, no press release required.
