I suppose we need something to give up when we disarm.

I heard of reports of B-52 pilot discovering by aircraft serial number that his grandfather flew the very same aircraft. It would be possible I guess, but I have not seen any actual story to verify it.

The B-52 doing nuclear missions?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhtttttttt!

Unless it's carrying a Cloaking Device, the B-52 couldn't get to its target now in a nuclear environment in a Month of Sundays. It's radar signature must be off the chain!

"Now if you take a big plane like a 52, see..."

Teh Won's cancellation of the B-3 will have serious effects for strategic air down the line.

Best,

Chris

This is too funny. They are finally going to make a squadron of the bombers they have been keeping up to date but supposedly not in the active inventory.

Between the electronic countermeasures and the nuke-tipped cruise missiles, a B-52 is very difficult to defend against.
