Oh for the days when who knows how many B-52’s fully loaded with bombs were headed to the Soviet Union to drop them until they were told, “Never mind, come on back” and as they were returning another group were taking off to take their place, 24/7,365. “Sky King, Sky King. This is Hickum, this is Hickum. Do not answer, do not answer. Break, Break”. Those were the days.

Same paint job. One article I read (with a picture) described how the way to tell if the missile was nuclear armed was by looking into a small inspection window (looked about like silver dollar size) to see the radioactive icon.

My first question, the pilot didn't even do a walk around of his plane?
