Emergency Takeoff! U.S. Air Force B-52 Bomber Fly at Full Throttle One by One
Witness an extraordinary moment as U.S. Air Force B-52 Bombers execute an emergency takeoff at full throttle! The sheer power and precision displayed by these aircraft are awe-inspiring.

What is the significance of this?
It's neat?
It's neat?
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…
A true “Minimum Interval Takeoff” would have them departing every 12 seconds.
This one’s not even close.

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.
I'd like to know as well, but I'd say that's a pretty good guess when fully loaded with fuel and bombs.

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.
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.
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.
I LOVE JET NOISE : It's the sound of FREEDOM.
You don’t know WhatTH you are talking about.
