Sure. Routine takeoffs with siren sounds overlaid.

“B-52 Bomber Fly at Full Throttle”
When taking off, at what speed is nose up, they are they leaving the ground? It looks to me maybe 200 MPH.

Not as neat as a corkscrew landing in. c-130 onto a dark tarmac in a hot zone…

What is the significance of this? If you're into Aviation Porn, as I, I mean someone I know is, then it's everything.

Note the wheels on the tip of the wings. When the wings are full of fuel they can drag on the ground without them. For those of you who didn’t know.

A true “Minimum Interval Takeoff” would have them departing every 12 seconds.
In wartime. 15 seconds in practice.

Full throttle at takeoff is REDUNDANT.
Video says this was at Strait of Hormuz two days ago.
It seems like war and inflation are never out of fashion.

Awesome, what a workhorse it's been for the Air Force over the decades.
My Dad worked on building the 1st B-52 ('48-'49?) after WWII when he worked at Boeing.

I have heard about those corkscrew landings ... a 1st cousin was a pilot during the Iraq War. He piloted refueling planes (KC-135?), C-130s, & also flew some of the brass around Iraq in a smaller jet.

What plane would ever take off at less than full throttle?

I was statiioned at Westover AFB, MA in mid 60’s, living in base housing. It was HQ of 8th Air Force, SAC. All B 52’s...w/nukes! They would regularly have unannonced “alerts” heralded by base wide sirens, day or night. These were drills for “real thing” because that was kind of the peak of Cold War, and they/we were deadly serious. B 52s took off balls to the wall, and all activities basically stopped because of roar and vibrations. Fond memory of the America of yesteryear.

Someone is doing this drama show to get hits. There is no such thing as an "emergency" takeoff but with BUFS, there are plenty of emergency landings.
This is, in fact, a composite video of many different instances of B-52s taking off.
There are no sirens, ever in any case, in the real world. I'll bet whoever created this video never saw a MITO.
