Used to pass to the southeast of Carswell AFB on my weekly run from Arlington to Burleson to see my high school girlfriend. Every so often the SAC B52s would pass over my VW low and slow with the engines screaming. Never failed to scare the heck out of me, thinking my car was coming apart.

I used to live on the approach into Westover. You got so used to the sound you wouldn’t even look up. Such a distinctive sound—40 years later I heard one flying into an air show and I heard it. It was like being transported into my back yard in 1972. I love those planes.
