Yes no other airplane has ever done this, it’s just a testament to the original design

One of the Wright brothers lived until 1948 so he saw a lot of what he and his brother had accomplished.

Santos Dumont created the plane , the Wright brothers created the glider

@@luiz_8779what

Gage Yes, that’s the term.

I was at Carswell 1966 -70 Double wing of B52-F's Spent 6 moths in Thailand then back to Carswell for discharge. (They sure had a lot of Pretty Women in Ft.Worth.)

@@garycorbier9123 Hahaha...yeah, I guess so! I was born at Carswell AFB October 1967!! Both parents were stationed there!!

Great.

First assignment was Castle AFB. I worked in a big hangar and had to walk underneath the B-52s to get to my office!

I toured the Castle Air Museum in 2015. One B-52 was on display, alongside with about 50 aircraft of other types.

I use to skydive out of Gilliam, La just north of Bossier City, the secondary jump master was a pilot for one of these bad boys and the primary was a F-16 jockey, super cool dudes!

Same for me in Minden.

I was Westover when they closed the Alert Area and WSA in 1973. I loved the place, I miss Johnny's 3D Grinders out the back gate and Saturday nights at The Bridge in Holyoke

@@WootTootZoot what about the red barn, abdows, lots of great memories

I wonder was it like the old m-60's going by?

U out hospital. With exit plan

Qq7

Robert Sparkes : You are actually a little older than the B-52. Well, actually, maybe not. It depends on when they were first built. They first flew in April of 1952, just four months before I was born. I don't know when the first B-52 was actually built, but they first flew in April of 1952, and I was born in August, 1952. The planes are much older than the people who fly them.

Steve Williams good to hear from another boomer 🤠

No ailerons on the buff, just flaps and on the top of each wing spoilers

Yeah death to people who have no weaponry

You should SEE A COMPLETE BOMB WING ( MITO) Minimum Intervdal Take Off saw one at Blitheville AFB WHEN I was stationed there. I got to fly in those BUFS a few times. Msgt USAF Retired

Гавно,ту 128 их делали легко.

Dennis Janda it’s all about physics, each square inch provides 14,7 lbs. of lift due to air flow

If you look closely at where the wing meet the fuselage through the wingtips, the leading edge of the wing is at a fixed angle up, probably for improved lift since the B-52s lack of rotation at takeoff.

@@edwardmounsey9208..I think it's associated with the horizontal stabilizers..They're big enough to be wings themselves..It's the only aircraft I've seen with ability to have "level lift" !!

@@delten-eleven1910..It'sa unique ability for the B52 to have very little "angle of attack"..Could be why they need to be refueled after take off..Interesting to say the least !!

I was born on Walker air Force Base in 1958. My daddy was a navigator on b-52's.

Saw?

Grand Forks We had 5 alert B52's We also were the base that had the KC135's stationed to refuel ya'lls planes

@@1HUFFMAN we had the 135's also cant have buffs without their gas stations

@@brucekitchura3680 4 decades ago that was classified info. I just realizes what I did !!!

Relax any base that had buffs also had alert aircraft everyone knew that and what they carried that was 1/2 of the deterrence side of alert aircraft

А какая дальность?

Морган Морган Дальность полёта B-52 составляет 14 162 км., дальность полёта ТУ-95МС составляет 15 000 км.) Вы ни с Украины?

Очень некрасивый самоль,колёсики на крыльях

B52 was shot down a lot in Vietnam, Vietnam was the only country to shoot down B52

anyway, no suitable explanation for the invasion of other country. All the invasion will be defeated though they used any advanced technologies to kill people.

If

I was there, '84-'89, dad retired Senior Master Sergeant after 28 years. Last unit was the 379th BW as the autopilot section chief. Loved watching these old gals strut their stuff

Those cobras were first used in Vietnam. For it's time they were futuristic.

What?? Are you saying they transported helicopters in B52s??

Burt Vincent No we were sent on an emergency round the clock airlift from Dover AFB - Military Airlift Command to Barksdale AFB which was close to the Bell Helicopter manufacturing facility in Texas. C-141s, 133s, 124s were used to transport them to NAM. After the Cobras were done we were extended to fly out a million tons of ammunition as I recall. I was an avionics tech supporting all the transports which came from all over the states. On the flight line all day by the SAC 52s, 135s and the U-2s. Elephant walks and U-2 Takeoffs up close. 💯👌. No cameras allowed though. Busy times🗽🇺🇸

@@eckhal2 Ok. I was a Bomb Nav tech, avionics 68 -72. TDY to Anderson and Kadena then PCS to U Tapao Thailand becoming a hard hat. I heard of an MG midget brought to the U.S from England many years back in the belly of a B52 but that was the only time on (or off) record they carried anything other than bombs.😊

@@eckhal2 I guess they carried missiles internal and x15s and a few other things under their wings so I will correct my statement.

You’re in luck, the B-52 isn’t a fighter plane! 😎

A lot of fuel stored in the wings, as well as the mains in the Fuselage. Thus it makes the the wings and the aircraft very heavy. This makes the aircraft as a whole sit closer to the ground and the wings sag with the additional weight during taxi and takeoff. That is one reason the wing wheels are there. I worked B52s while in the USAF. It truly is an incredible aircraft.

They Sound like a desk fan 🤣
