I watched the episode where he talked about the B-52 [still] having tail guns. Pretty big miss.

The guy is a fraud.

This started when Monkey Werx did a talk on B-52s. He gave the talk:

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).

Articles on B-52 Defensive Aerial Gunner are here:

and here:

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.
