    I'm a former SAC SP from Carswell AFB, TX. Spent 4 years with the B 52D. Beautiful old aircraft!
  • B-52's followed by KC-135 tankers flew out of Westover SAC base round the clock. grew up with windows rattling, dishes rattling in East Springfield MA.

    You Airmen are sharp. The aircraft look great! Y'all make me proud to have been part of it all. God bless you all and keep you. Take care.

    As a military dependent at Zaragosa Air Base, Spain, I watched and listened to hundreds of F-16's takeoff/landing drills. I'm here to tell ya, they are LOUD!😮

    Lived on this base (Barksdale AFB in Bossier City, LA) for a total of nine years across two of my dad's assignments (he flew the KC-10s and 135s) in the 80s and 90s. Great place to grow up, and always fascinating to see (and hear, and feel) the planes overhead. 52s are shake-your-windows loud on takeoff.

    Special thanks to all the skilled maintainers and ground support out there.

    Still one heavy bad mutha indeed!.. I was assigned to the B52 right out of tech school in 1986 at Castle AFB California. When that base closed in 94 I was sent to Barksdale AFB Louisiana until I retired in 2006.. I was a Crew Chief..or Crew Dawg as we called one another..was on flight status along with the aircrew who flew them.. Tons of flying hours in this old dog..loved it!.. Constantly deployed though..every yr since we kicked off the gulf war until I retired...great memories and experience with my fellow crew dawgs... Was part of the 93rd OMS..then the 11th yellow tails SQDRN at Barksdale..then onto the 96th Red tails SQDRN and finally onto the 20th Blue tails SQDRN where I retired with them. I literally flew and worked on all of these aircraft seen in this video.. Pretty awesome career..ill never forget these old days and times..

    Some years back we were on vacation from the UK and driving up Interstate 49. Two B52s flew low over the Interstate on their way into Barksdale. To be honest I didn’t even know if they were still in service. What an awesome sight!
  • This is still one of the Baddest Beasts in the American Air Force Fleet, and each time they do an upgrade it just gets better! The most feared Bomber in the World!
  • @ptarrow6817
    B-52s used to fly right over my apartment in Fort Worth, TX when Carswell was a USAFB. This brings back memories.
  • @gpabui5256
