The B-52s Flying Today Are Older Than The Crews Flying And Maintaining Them
Hell, the irst pilots have grandsons now flying the plane they were assigned to!
To let you know how old the B52 is, there was a movie called "Bombers B-52" that starred Natalie Wood and Karl Malden that was released in 1957! But there is another one called the "Strategic Air Command" starring Jimmy Stewart that was released in 1955! She is an old, but noble bird 🥊🥊🥊🥊
I don't think SAC featured any B-52s, but it did have B-36s and B-47s which are both incredible aircraft in their own right.
@@mfree80286 My mistake, the aircraft model on the General's desk was one of the earlier X or Y version of the B-52
In the movie Dr. Strangelove it was listening to George C. Scott talking about the B-52 bomber on a bombing mission.
When you see that plane show up. That Uncle Sam's way of saying he's DONE talking.
That bomber is what I would call Uncle Sam's universal delete button that refuses to be retired.
It's hard to beat being able to carry 70k lb in munitions of nearly any kind to any target around the world and return without landing while also being one of the cheapest planes to maintain in the fleet.
A salute to the wrench benders, the aircraft maintenance technicians that keep them in the air and operational ready--
As you mentioned in the video, the advent of smart weapons, self guiding/targeting ordinance specifically, is reducing the role the Buff will be playing in warfare.
What to do with the large quantities of ballistic ordinance?
Some of the aircraft technicians started thinking and tinkering, came up with a solution. They created bolt on modules to attach to the gravity powered bombs that gave them guidance and maneuvering capability.
So here's to the guys that get their hands dirty and come up with repurposing what some would consider obsolete junk and a disposal problem. Creativity is the most important aspect of any military endeavor and higher ups that are willing to support the troops in the trenches.
Awesome!! Another brilliant reaction! 💪💪💪
The eight things being pushed forward with two hands are the throttles fot the eight engines . There are four engines on each wing . In the video you can hear the engines scream as the aircraft is pushed to full throttle.
Dang I’m not receiving your notifications so I come here and have to look for new posts. Your channel is awesome. Thank you for doing what you do, we all love it.
Thank you DJ. Some people are having to unsubscribe the re Subscribe again. Not sure what is happening
Imagine seeing and hearing 129 B-52s, separated into 4 rows of 32 all flying at the same time. Operation Linebacker (later part of Operation Arc Light) in Vietnam. I’m not sure how many were used years earlier in the first parts of the overall operation.
The B-52's are the planes my Dad and sister worked on while in the Air Force. I love seeing them on the flight line with their wings bowing down then lifting as they take off!
Thank you. I have a strange reaction when I see B-52 video from the Vietnam era, I cry. My husband watched them from the ground afar off. It makes me proud but so lonely for him.
Marvelous birds!
I would hate to be on the receiving end of that! 🇺🇸
There are only 2 bases in the States that have the BUFFs. Minot AFB in Minot, ND and Barksdale AFB in Bossier City, Louisiana. I lived in Minot, ND before moving to Illinois (where I'm close to Scott AFB) and I miss seeing them flying around now that am not there anymore. They're LOUD, but I LOVE them!!
Epic! My father was stationed at Sheppard Airforce Base in the early sixties, a SAC base. I remember the B-52s and the B-29s
#NoMoreTalkingLetsGo #VeteransBattleStillRages
I grew up near an Air Force base where they had B-52s stationed. Every day we could see them flying over our city doing exercises. All I ever thought was, glad those things are fighting for me.
It takes a whole shift to load all of those lmao try watching B-1 Silk
Much of the footage was from Vietnam. Of course the B52 has been upgraded multiple times over the years. Avionics and targeting are very modern with glass screens etc. The B52 can carry smart bombs and missiles too. But a huge improvement will be when the new engines are fitted. This will increase the range by a 20%.
You should watch a video of B-52's performing a MITO (Minimum Interval Take Off). It's quite the sight.
Used to watch the Buffs take off and return every day from their arctic circle runs from Pease Air Base back in the 60's.
Hey mate! I taught flyboys how to guard these very aircraft during the coldwar! Imagine the nightmares I get seeing this.
I live in Missouri..30 miles away is home to the Stealth Bomber..one clear night while fishing..summer time..it was hovering above us..quiet as hell..just see the lights that all
@@mevrammcoyoteV8f150 I hope and pray that you only see those grey ladies of the night only going on a training flight!
Ark Light in action!!!!
These days we just drop a few guided munitions to get the same job done.
There is a great movie called "Dr. Stranglove "where the B 52 is the real star of the movie.
Cool. Thank you
Love that the wings have wheels on them!!! Only used on the ground.
Hello from Missouri..after a three beer buzz..you ought to hear my imitation.....Let's Go..thanks
Old birds , but very well built long range bombers
It’s even cooler when you realize that these planes flew from Louisiana to Iraq, dropped cruise missiles, then flew back to Louisiana. Without landing.
Yep, Barksdale Air Force Base.
God, it is beautiful to see
B52 strikes always left the target area looking like the surface of the moon.
B-52, what self- propelled artillery grows up to be.
I love the way this thing looks.
Thing is about the B-52, this kind of work is pretty outmoded. Unguided bombs for lightly defended targets and safe airspace. B-52s can patrol a large area for a long time, dropping bombs like these all throughout the day.
These kinds of big strategic bombers get really spicy when they start throwing around big long range cruise missiles. Weapons like the old ALCM cruise missiles, the newer JASSM cruise missiles, and the upcoming LRSO cruise missiles. The B-52, old as she is, can deliver as many as 20 stealth cruise missiles, with nuclear or conventional payloads, from more than 2000km away.
A squadron of B-52s can threaten the most sophisticated air defenses from well out of harm's way. Nation smashers.
I have grown up watching these plane we call the buff(buffalo) as I live just a few miles from the Minot Air Force base they fly daily and the coolest plane ever
Bring the rain can’t imagine what an enemy must think when they see one of these coming in
As always a wonderful and brilliant reaction she may be the old lady of the skies but Lord she can still veteransbattlestillrages
You should watch video footage of Operation Arc Light in Vietnam.
Vietnam actually has lakes formed by these bombing runs!
"BUFF?" "That's MISTER BUFF to you"...
WOW just WOW OMG USA military 🇺🇸
Holy 💩 I find it AMAZING with the in air refueling of the planes!!!!! I wonder how long it takes to feel comfortable doing that. Again Don, you need to put that seat belt on.....BUT I will admit that I get just as excited 😜 ps welcome home
🤣
I don't see the B-52s currently in service going anywhere anytime soon. They are relatively cheap to operate and have been receiving upgrades through the years including the ability to receive data on operations and targets from other aircraft including the F-35, Their bomb bays have been upgraded to hold more, they are able to carry modern precision guided bombs and cruise missiles, and I remember reading that they were looking at ways in the future to arm them with a directed energy defense system.
They Are actually starting a reengining program for the B-52 to fit turbofans to make them even cheaper to operate.
Pretty dog gone amazing! Thanks for sharing!
🇺🇸❤️✌🏻💪🏼🇺🇸

You don't fix what ain't broke!
Haha--I was counting them too! Too many too fast to keep up with.
good morning love watch u video dear Dons 😉🇲🇾
# No more talkin 🤐 Let’s go # Veterans Battle Still Rages ✈️🇺🇸
They normally fly wingtip to wingtip and make what they call a kill box of 1 square mile
Someone's having a bad day 😂🤣
a b-52 can carry up to 70,000lbs (31,500 kg) of mixed ordinance (bombs, mines, missiles, etc)
Did you know when they were in the war, they would load used toilets and anything else on those missions and would drop them out of the plane as well. I thought that was just hilarious at the pun intended.. 🤣
Now they can do that with Guided bombs and hit WAY more targets than they could in Vietnam
I agree but the B52 can also carry smart bombs, cruise missiles etc. But having a B52 drop and entire bomb load on you will scare you to death I don't care how tough you think you are. That kind of thing has a real psychological effect on anyone who survives. That will cause real PTSD.
This is what happens when you convert a bomber that was supposed to drop nuclear bombs for conventional bombing
BIG CAN OF WHOPPASS!
#No more talk in, let's go! 😁
There's more than a few folks working on the planes just like their dads, and maybe now granddads, did. It's a shame we had to mothball so many of them to make the Russians happy along with so many of our ICBM silos.
And to quote Stevie Wonder "Isn't she lovely". ruclips.net/video/RJzFICvJhGQ/видео.html
😀. Absolutely
The B-52 is a Beast, we affectionately call it "The Buff, Big Ugly Fat *ucker". P.S., I'm still getting feeds on my home page but they're getting later even though I'm on your site often and like.
Really? It's very frustrating. Not sure what the solution is to this problem
@@TheDonsChannel, I guess we need to get more "Woke Up", This social crap is driving me crazy!
Donfather,
I wonder if you've seen these videos by the US Air Force Band, Max Impact.
The first is "Send Me" ruclips.net/video/2yKpjKgf4rA/видео.html
The lyrics contain the phrase "That Others May Live" which is the Air Force Pararescue slogan. But they also to pay homage to the other combat arms career fields in the Air Force such as the Forward Air Controllers and the Security Forces, in which I am proud to have served.
The second is "Find You" ruclips.net/video/Pn-341l8l5Q/видео.html
It is about Air Force Training Instructors. I love this part of the lyrics: "The destination is you."
The third is "Locked and Loaded" ruclips.net/video/jvVqIFU1sjk/видео.html
A salute to all Air Force career fields, but with a bent towards the Enlisted, those in the combat arms career fields but especially the maintainers.
I hope you enjoy these videos as much as I enjoy your RUclips Channel.
Fancy 2 of these beasts over great Britain
You should react to The Marine rapper- Holy war too It's an Afghan veteran's perspective on the situation
#nomoretalkingletsgo
The b2 can do the same with more
The B-2 cannot carry the sheer number of bombs a B-52 can. The B-2 is a scalpel, the B-52 is a sledgehammer.
first and nice video
