Hi know exactly what you mean, I live between RAF SCAMPTON AND RAF WASHINGTON born in 1961 during the cold War on many occasions both airfields scrambled upto 40+ VULCAN'S LINCOLN shook and aviation fuel was stronger than weed and as for the engines at full chat..... " There was most definitely a GOD 🙏"

The B-52 is still in service because it's still a viable bomber against nearly all enemies. It is large enough to carry a devastating payload. It can fly at almost the speed of sound for great distances. With refueling it's range is unlimited.. It is very hard to defeat unless you've got some serious missiles or fighters. Russia, China, and some of the Western European nations. It is protected by fighters that are the equal of any in the world. The B-1, B-2 have speed. The B-2 has stealth technology neither of the others have. With improved defenses, and avionics, the B-52 will be useful into the 2040s.

In service, 4.

5 actually. Two pilots, a navigator, a radar operator and an electronic warfare operator. I always thought there were 4 until I recently watched a 1960 promotional video about the Vulcan and they showed 5 crew members boarding a crew bus to take them to the Vulcan and they all then climbed into the Vulcan.

@B-A-L. Could be 6 actually. I had a flight in a Vulcan as the sixth nember of what would normally be five member crew as you say. The sixth seat was behind and to the left of the rear facing crew positions. When the undercarriage was lowered for landing my view was almost straight downwards.

@@Jack-bs6zb was there a lot of space?

@@mgomez5606 ... yes, as i recall it was quite roomy.

That had to be a long round trip from UK.

Does Vulcan have IFR receptacle or drogue probe to be refueled in-flight

​@@mgomez5606the book "Vulcan 607" tells the incredible story of Operation Black Buck. The Vulcans had an 8000 mile round trip from Ascension Island to Port Stanley and required a fleet of up to 11 Tankers to refuel them in flight, something which had never been done whilst carrying such a heavy payload. The plan was incredibly complex as the Tankers had to refuel other Tankers to ensure one last Tanker could support the Vulcans to the Falklands. When they returned, they had to rendezvous with more Tankers to get back. An amazing accomplishment.
