Just wondering if anyone knows if everything on the ground around the B-52 actually fits into it.

It's pretty awesome.

Not quite that many, if this is correct -- but more than enough.

So the B-52 can carry a maximum of either 51 or 45 munitions, depending on which pylon is mounted under the wings. However, the AGM-28 pylon is no longer used, so the B-52 currently carries on HSABs, limiting the external load to 18 bombs, or a total of 45 bombs.

I once walked under a B-52 with its bomb bays open that was on display at an air show. To be honest about it, it didn't look like all that stuff would fit in there. What was most interesting were that the electric motors and machinery and etc. were obviously all so old. It really looked like something out of the '50s, it was a different style that we haven't see in consumer products for 40 years or more. It was like looking at an old manual typewriter. But, as it turns out, I suppose they were built to last, although I doubt anyone thought they'd last this long.
