Comment : I am almost 70 years old. I have lived within 10 miles of the end of the runway of Barksdale AFB most of my life. This is the larger of the two bases hosting the B–52. I see them almost every day. I never get tired of watching them fly by.
Comment : I was stationed in Minot ND in the 80’s. It was great to see them take off and land. Being a fireman had up close look at their operations. Seeing them sit in the “bullpen” on alert was an interesting thing as well.
Comment : Amazing that there are crews assigned to B-52s that were manned or crewed by their grandfathers, sometimes great grandfathers.
