Cause you were on hand next to all the B-2's to make sure they weren't modified, right?
Good job, detective. You get around.
In case you're dull, I just told you that you don't know if they, or some, have been modified. You don't know and I don't know. But somebody knows. Maybe monkeywerx knows. I never read him, myself.
And please don't insult me by saying they can't have been modified. ThankQ.
What is Monkeywerx Special Ops experience?
I watched the episode where he talked about the B-52 [still] having tail guns. Pretty big miss.
The guy is a fraud.
Perhaps some of them have been modified. Or all of them.
Cause you were on hand next to all the B-2's to make sure they weren't modified, right?Yeah, yeah, yeah....maybe the modified B-52s are called B-2s now.
Your irrelevant post marks you as an aviation expert. Acknowledged, Maverick.
Now to the point. Using your obvious expertise, can a B-52 be modified with guns, which seems to be the bone of contention here re: monkeywerx.
That furry dude used the lack of guns on B-2s to attack monkeywerx' credibiity.
Lend the conversation something productive, Ice Man.
To remind. The question is 'modification'.
I don’t know.
He does at least 2 updates/week.
I suggest watching an episode or two — you can decide if he knows his stuff :)
He knows more than me! ;)
This started when Monkey Werx did a talk on B-52s. He gave the talk:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/L9RbbLN1TZxC/
and stated that B-52s have a tail gun. Which they don’t as they were de-installed in the early 1990s. I considered that a pretty big miss.
n.b. - I originally posted that MonkeyWerx stated that there is a tail gunner in the B-52 (they don’t anymore) and they were quad .50 cal guns (that was incorrect - H models (which is what he was showing on the screen) had a 20-mm six-barrel rotary cannon, so on me).

You can see some of the obtuse comments about this in the thread. But no B-52 has tail guns installed any longer. No matter how much some people want to believe otherwise.
Monkey Werx know his stuff. My husband is a former pilot and worked at Boeing. He knows planes and he goes with what Monkey says for the most part.
Monkey Werx seems to follow these apps closely and so he is able to not only identify various aircraft, but more importantly (IMHO) he can point out what is usual vs. unusual activity.
I’ve never seen a good description of where his ‘expertise’ comes from. As far as I can tell, he may have worked MX on Special Ops helicopters.
But no B-52 has tail guns installed any longer. No matter how much some people want to believe otherwise.Correct. He also says that the TF-33 engines on the B-52H have water injection and that it's called a Stratofortress because it flies in the stratosphere. He also doesn't seem to know that SAC was deactivated in 1992.
He goes on to call T-6 Texans "T-37 Tweets" and T-38s "Law Darts."
He also doesn't recognize the location of Vance AFB.
He does use tacticool words like "exfil" though, so he's got that going for him.
I'll have to review that again. Seems out of his element.
I hated those takeoffs of G-models. Damn loud. And G-models doing a MITO? You could feel it in your bones. H-models were nice and "quiet". Haha!
It's OK, we're energy-independent now
Oh, wait...
lol
