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!
