Where is this?

Well maybe.. or you tell stories.. or you shouldn't be telling stories. But you didn't even mention the real deal.. NORAD is for movies. Where did JB land on 911? Because that seems significant

​@JasonJensenA why?

Not very "well oiled" on 9/11 as I remember... War is a racket.

No, he is correct, as far as where George Bush landed during 9-11 he went to Barksdale AFB, then Offutt Air Force Base, then finally back to Andrews AFB home of Air Force One! Both Air Force bases were very secure having special weapons present on the base. Air Force One was cleared to fly anywhere the president and his staff wanted to go, Air Force One was escorted by F-16 fighters as well with orders to shoot, and ask questions later if any aircraft attempted to come close to Air Force One! And No NORAD is not for the movies, both US and Canadian military member serve at NORAD, parts of it's mission is still highly classified in 2024!!! NORAD assisted the FAA in grounding all civilian aircraft and scrambled fighters to ensure they followed the grounding order!!@@JasonJensenA

Experienced the same as a little kid at Pease AFB, years later I heard the stories of relief when they came back from a retired Colonel who said those planes were fully loaded.

In a potential nuclear war scenario these birds can get up and into the air pretty quickly. If we are ever at war with a country with nuclear capabilities our B-2's and B-52's and soon the new Raider once it comes out will already be loaded with nuclear weapons and be fueled and in an alert status. As soon as NORAD detects nuclear missile launches these aircraft will be scrambled and will have left behind their bases that will be obliterated and be on their way to deliver Armageddon. It would take a Nuke from Russia, China, etc, approximately 40 minutes to reach the US if launched from Russia or China. The B-52's have the capability of having rockets put onto their engines to speed up the engine warmup and ignition process. They can have all taken off with 25 minutes to spare before the inbound nukes destroy their bases, families, friends, fellow airmen etc. By the times the missiles hit they would have already gotten their orders and opened the safes onboard the aircraft to confirm the strike order and would have received their targets and strike packages ( Example... Drop 3 different B-83 Nuclear bombs on Moscow and the exact target for each one then head towards the Russian Naval Base at Vladivostok where Russia has the HQ of their Pacific Fleet and deliver the the other 3 there. )

Our bases were designed around the B-52 and getting the air crews to the bombers with-in 15 minutes, it was no joke, if you failed to follow the set orders you would be standing in front of the General's desk, never a pleasant day for them!! We can thank the Late General Curtis LeMay for that as he created Strategic Air Command in 1948!

@@GM8101PHX Old ideas and solutions still sometimes apply. Of course we modernize and threats sometimes change as do technologies, The advent of nuclear attack subs changed a lot in our strategies and things like satellites, advance AWACs systems and many more have played a role. B-52s play much less of a role in our nuclear defense policies, but they have proven useful ith conventional weapons. Russia still has propeller driven aircraft in its nuclear force. The B 52s are still awesome machines and they are a good reminder of when came from and why we built them. I'm afraid all that history is lost on most people today. But I lived it, so all that may mean a lot more to me than most.

Phenomenal design indeed. Although the B-21 Raider seems like it may be outclassed by none.

where is this base? I'd like to come see them.

I remember growing up in northern California (near Sacramento), we lived under the pattern for Beale AFB up near Yuba CIty, about 50 miles north. In the late 80s, the SR-71 Blackbird frequently flew in and out of there. Those things had a distinctive boom and went supersonic a few times, and they'd rattle the house every once in awhile. My family and I though, despite getting woken up in the morning or startled every once in awhile by the house rattling, were so proud to be able to hear that rumble. Talk about angels on your shoulders!

free ticket to hell id get the chills too😂

this is a training session, the aircraft aren't armed with nuclear weapons. No armed guards at the bombers, no ID checks before the crews are allowed to approach the aircraft. Still a lot of stress because they're in competition with each other as well as the standards set for speed in getting the aircraft off the ground, but they know there's no war threat the moment they see the lack of security. The guys jumping up and down trying to catch that line was comical, in a morbid kind of way. Hope it didn't lead to disciplinary action for poor performance as it did lose them time getting the aircraft rolling.

I crewed the tankers. We planned on getting 13 aircraft airborne off one runway in three minutes. The BUFF is slow in comparison. Our plan was to have the aircraft 10 seconds apart on takeoff.

​@robertheinkel6225 that was very slow and most would not have made it out of the blast radius of incoming soviet ICBMs. These BUFFs were on the flight line and weren't doing MITO. If they were on the Christmas tree their departure would have been faster
