While I really like the B-2 the sight of a B-52 still makes my heart rate go up. They are beautiful aircraft.

See how the B-52 wheels are aligned with the runway and the body of the plane isn't? I think that ability of the plane was secret at one time.

I remember waking up to the B-52's and their engine run-ups while stationed at K.I. Sawyer AFB, in Michigan.

The sound of freedom.
