Found a kewl video of a B-52 crabbing on landing..

Note that it seems to use the same steep angle of approach, despite their being NOTHING around the airstrip...unlike the pic from Las Vegas..is this a normal angle-of-attack for landing?

that landing might have a little brown stain syndrome sure stopped instead of heading to the hammer head on a slow taxi to run up outboard engines dump chute and shut down outboards.. also looked like a very high crosswind

Worthy of a WOW. Just an impressive beast. One neat thing about the BUFF is that it could sustain high speed flight for so long. Pursuit aircraft of the day might be able to make a burst of speed much faster but not for long enough to catch her.
