Pogo Wheels out on the ends of the wings of the B-52 are there because the wind is droop especially when it's full of fuel that actually keeps the wind keeps from hitting the ground when it's full

I worked at LockMart in Fort Worth when N911NA landed at Carswell with Endeavour on top for an overnite stay. (2009) LM distributed multiple pictures to employees. but I got to walk up close to a Shuttle and a NASA 747.

The mounts on the F14 is for the AIM 54 Phoenix

If the B-52 wing was full of fuel, the wing would bend and the outrigger gear would touch touch the ground. The missile next to it is a Hound dog nuclear cruise missile.

1:00 that F-86 is painted in TWA markings...it just needs TWA on the tail.

Cool! Over the last year I've seen the ones in Kalamazoo, Dayton, and NYC.

You made the walk-around more interesting by adding details in post. 👍

The B-52 is such a piece of junk. I can't believe USAF still operates that flying junk yard. The RAF operated a much better aircraft that it retired in 1984

It's pronounced nuclear, exactly how it's spelled. It means from the nucleus and it's from the Latin word Nucleus. There's no such thing as a nukulus and there's no such thing as nukular.

From the E/E door, you can access the aircraft near door 1 Left. I have many hour as PIC on this bird.

This F86 was used by Flight Systems for target towing and being an ECM aggressor. That's why it's certified Experimental just as all war birds are. Flew against the AirForce and Navy for training.

Did you guys make it out of Palmdale alive? Such a ghetto trashy city anymore

Many decades ago I saw in person the space shuttle endeavor mounted on top of a 747 at our local Air Force Base. I don't know which amazed me more, how huge the 747 was or how small the space shuttle was. It was definitely something worth seeing.

Cool stories. Thank you! But, at 0:40 - you pronounce Nuclear as "nu-cu-lar". That is not right, sorry. Very common mistake. Nuclear is pronounced "nu-clee-ar"!

Really interesting, thanks for sharing

Good job, thanks for posting.

Handshake, thanks. I enjoyed the video and will need to drop by Plamdale. I'm guessing here, but on the F-14, was it not set up for recon equipment? Maybe test pods? CAVU

Any idea what the projected completion date might be?!

You need to brush up on your history before you film. A twelve year old could have made a better video.

Unfortunately it looks like the guy who just bought the Yankee Lady will be bringing it there to palm springs before he ships it to New Zealand 😢

On Memorial Day and Labor Day, they used to have open cockpit days, and you got to go into almost all the planes' cockpits. CAVU

Very nice, thanks. So now I have to put another museum on my list. 🙂 CAVU

The J58 isn’t technically a ram jet. It is a turbine with the capability of ducting excessive air from just in front of the compressor around the engine then ducted back in just aft of the turbine. To be sure, the aircraft received 90% of its thrust at cruise from the ram jet effect, in fact the faster the aircraft went, the more efficient the engine became as less and less air went through the engine itself. It was the only aircraft designed to save fuel by going faster!

The ram jets still look realy cool , even if they are old . Man those planes now are one step to become the next star wars ships =)

Sorry Not a wet wing. 22Gal Wing Bladders. And not Chrome Wing Tips. Polished Aluminum just like the entire plane. Cowling is fine. STC for larger motor requires offset Motor Mounts.

Hope it will have the sirens!!!!!
