  1. Ahh the memories! Had to hold on to the boom 4 times during the first night of DS for 55 minutes per each A/R. Also that was my old squadron 96th BMS!!!!!

  2. I'm always amazed – as a pilot – how small and not central the analog attitude indicator is in the B-52…and why there is not a large PFD for the pilots.

  3. I have a candid question : this kind of aircraft can remain airborne in excess of 10 hrs. Is it equipped with a galley where the crew can fix themselves a cup of coffee and/or a bathroom where they can relieve themselves ? 🤔
