  1. Always surprises me USAF bomber crews don’t wear survival gear in case of need to eject like Navy crews do.

  2. Ahh the memories! Had to hold on to the boom 4 times during the first night of DS for 55 minutes per each A/R. Also that was my old squadron 96th BMS!!!!!

  3. I'm always amazed – as a pilot – how small and not central the analog attitude indicator is in the B-52…and why there is not a large PFD for the pilots.

  4. I have a candid question : this kind of aircraft can remain airborne in excess of 10 hrs. Is it equipped with a galley where the crew can fix themselves a cup of coffee and/or a bathroom where they can relieve themselves ? 🤔
