There was a camp style toilet on the upper deck behind the EWO for other restroom needs but I never saw it used as the rule was regardless of your rank, if you use it, you clean it In short, the bomber was designed to complete the mission, not for crew comfort.

@John-et8mg There are time change intervals for specific items on the airframe, but the B-52 design is a semi-monocoque design that uses the skin of the airframe for some of the structural strength of the aircraft rather than a rigid frame that gives all the strength with the skin attached to the frame and is primarily for aerodynamic fairing. This skin was subject to stress cracks which were repaired by the sheet metal shop on the local base. For any time change interval skin replacements, the plane is flown to a depot maintenance base (Tinker AFB, I believe) and replaced by civilian contractors who specialize in that sort of large scale repair.

B52s are part of my core memories as a child. I'm an Air Force brat. My dad was a 52 flight engineer during Vietnam. I toured the flight deck and bomb bay area of a 52 and even sat in one of the engine intakes with my little brother during an Armed Services Day event in the 1970s. Makes me feel a little proud that they're still flying strong.
Maybe the audience does not understand this; but as a pilot I can tell you that a flight where an engine needs to be shut down and one of your gear does not extend is considered pretty disastrous. This report makes it seem normal, but I am shocked that they had two emergency situations in one flight.
Really? Stop. I'm in the culinary career field, and even I know something like a boeing 747 can fly with 2 of 4 engines off. The landing gear is far more important because of its weight. Aircraft can land with a missing gear, but that's a bit heavier even without its typical payload. And the time when the engine cut off is probably many hours longer than you've flown in a single run. Lot more going on that you know
@@JosephWallace-xo8sg Yeah a plane can fly without one of its engines but its still an emergency, thats literally how its categorized. You are supposed to land as soon as possible after losing an engine, considering the airplane is only rated to fly with all engines operational and whatever caused the initial failure can lead to additional failures.
There are many multiple redundant systems on that plane, one advantage of an aircraft that is so well known, and overhauled, upgraded, then tested to its limits many times over, they know what can go wrong, and know they can fix it, and at least make it home, or land safely. What a legendary beauty.
@ibrahimmoncada2710 Mix in a few B-2's, some B-1b's, a dash of F-117's and maybe even the brand-new B-21 (if they're a couple operational that they're not telling us about) and yeah, that would be a fleet of bombers that could be a core of linebackers.
@ibrahimmoncada2710 That's not the purpose of this propaganda piece. This is a flex on Russia, China and Iran. It says this: we can reach you. Remember the B-52 is the oldest asset in the USAF inventory, and it has a capability that none of those countries has. The bigger flex is the stuff they don't talk about. I agree with you, it's propaganda. However, it's an attempt at deterrence, to try and quell rising hostilities, before things escalate.
When I was a kid, before video games and the internet, I built the model airplane of the B-52. That was a lot of fun. One of my favorite model airplane projects.
Such a classic movie. I don't think it could have been done any better. Slim Pickens, George C Scott, Peter Sellers in 3 roles, and the debut of James Earl Jones. Yup, timeless classic.
Slim was a last minute decision to play Major Kong. Sellers was supposed to play him but with already playing The President, Mandrake and Strangelove he felt it was too much. Slim stepped in and owned the part. Pickens best role along with his work in Blazing Saddles. “Alright boys it looks like it’s nuclear combat toe to toe with the Russkies!”
And to think, this plane was fairly new state-of-the-art technology when that film came out. I don't know what surprises me more, that the plane is that old or Dr. Strangelove.
@@dayceem The B-52 has been constantly upgraded since it first entered service. The outside may look identical to a 1960s plane, but the electronics and other onboard systems are state-of-the-art.
So much respect and thanks to the U.S. military and navy and everyone who’s protecting America. I know we aren’t the most respectable country but I think one thing that deserves 100% respect and thanks is to the ones who are on the front lines truly to protect us 🙏🫡
Not difficult but pointless. A B52 will be easily shot down in a combat zone like what happened in Vietnam. They can only operate in areas with no air defense. That’s why modern bombers are stealth.
Military industrial complexes like to waste taxpayer money on planes like the F-22 and donate to the GOP to fight against tuition forgiveness and universal healthcare.
The US did try with the B-1 Lancer but that was quickly retired due to heavy maintenance. Making a new B-52 would be extremely expensive and difficult since the USAF prefers quick low altitude bombing and high altitude precision bombing. The reason why the B-52 is still in service is because it’s a good platform for carpet bombing and also the only bomber to have an on-board jammer in its tail where the tail gunner used to be while being easy to maintain with modern equipment.
I’m so proud of these young people, so well trained, very professional. My Dad and I were Army, he was commo & I was artillery. Two of my kids are Air Force & love it.
Just for clarification on that. 0001 is the first aircraft produced that year. The actual number would be something like 60-0001, meaning it was the first one produced in 1960. And, 61-0001 would be the first one produced in 1961.
@@monteporche5552 " meaning it was the first one produced in 1960." Yes, I believe that would make it the first H model produced. I'm not exactly sure but I think that's the case.
Wars are expensive. Sabre rattling is cheap. Every day in Russia they talk on the TV about nuking Europe and it does have an effect. Just a reminder of being a nuclear power has a damping effect on policies and actions of adversaries.
Believe it or not, that B-52 used less fuel on that whole run than it would have if it had been fully combat loaded. It would have had to refuel 2-3 more times if it had been loaded for war.
That's why long range standoff munitions exist. America can target the enemy from outside of their threat circles. And in the event a strike deep into an enemy's territory was called for, B-52 would not be the first acft in, not if there's anti-aircraft capabilities. Fighters and drones and stealth acft would go first.
In the old Squadron Signal _in Action_ series I read about a B-52D that took off from Guam for the Linebacker II Operations, lost all four engines from the same side, jettisoned everything he could and was able to return for a safe landing, keeping the flaps up. Amazing.
@duartesimoes508 that's still an asymmetric landing which is still well within the capabilities of the aircraft and pilots train for far worse I can assure you.
A value that looks like their altitude is shown at 2:33, but it's only ~6,000 feet?! Why would they be flying so low? 6,000 ft makes no sense. Or is this measuring something else?

B52 is a sitting duck in modern warfare. Russia and China can see its take off in Louisiana, its mid-air refueling over Hawaii, its fighter escort in Japan etc. etc. China has just deployed a super long range (2500+ km) missile to shoot down satellites, B21, air tankers, AWACS etc. Then there is the J20 with 250KM range PL15 AAM.

Considering that it is not traveling at multiple times the speed of sound it actually is impressive. Instead of 48 hours it should actually take closer to 5 days or more.
Well let’s see you build something that’s quicker, instead of sitting on RUclips eating potato chips & critiquing systems you don’t understand. You probably don’t even know how your lawn mower cuts grass but can say what’s impressive or not impressive. 😂
My stepfather flew a Lancaster bomber for the Canadian airforce in WW2. He never talked about it. I didn't even know he was in the war until they had been married for 20 years and my son commented on a picture of a plane that was on the wall. A Lancaster.
Jeez I didn’t think if Russia could shoot down hypersonic projectiles that a b52 was going to pose such a big threat. A hypersonic missile can be anywhere in the world in minutes and they have devised defenses for them yet a b52 will allude those defenses you are saying?? I wish I knew why that makes sense.
The hypersonic missiles are better against static defenses/emplacements a B-52 in the air is obviously always on the move. It can also fly closer to the ground/water to avoid radar systems which point upward at the sky (obviously) to detect aircraft or airborne weapons.
The B-52 missions mission isnt to fly over a territory and drop bombs (well it is). They have cruise missiles that they can launch from miles away from any anti-plane missiles. They do drop bombs directly on target when the US has control over the airspace. They are bomb wagons and are really effecitve when US controls the skies. Not going to happen with the Russians or the Chinese. The truth is that if there is ever a nuclear war, most of those planes wont be coming back. My son flies one of them
During the Vietnam war and a couple of years before I worked on these beautiful aircraft. I was a TF-33 jet engine tech on the B-52H aircraft and loved it. The only thing I hated to do was to remove and replace the engine oil cooler. That was one heck of a job because of where it's located and I have very big hands which didn't help. I eventually took a wrench and bent, twisted and ground for quite a while to make me a special wrench just for that job. It worked great but was still a hard job. I also worked on the KC-135 with the J57-59W Pray and Whitney engine. Also the UH1F choppers which was a very small J58 engine if I remember correctly. Plus so many other aircraft engines which are too many to mention. I always enjoyed working on all the aircraft but these were my favorite with the B-52 being number one.
If US has trouble keeping their bombers going then imagine how terrible Russian systems are after 2 years of heavy sanctions and budget cuts to an already struggling nation

The USA and Europe have similarly had to adapt and find alternate supplies, or weaken the sanctions like was done for fertilizer imports.

Hence, Russia is looking forward to launching their RS-28/RS-24 YARS/R29RMU2 nuclear ICBMs/SLBMS once NATO dumps B61-12s on Belarus as well as Ukraine with there F16s & F35s. I can say with confidence that WWIII will last for four days. People should be anxious over the fact that Russia isn't even phased over a nuclear war on the grounds that they have been refurbishing old soviet nuclear bunkers these past few years for this unquestionable occasion while America's leadership abates. Look to Israel & you will understand that the GREAT RESET is underway. They are building the third temple for goodness sake. Jesus will come to rapture the Church before the seven-year tribulation. Those who believe in a false gospel will be left behind. Trust only in the blood of Jesus & his finished work on the cross, not your by your own works.

B52s are part of my core memories as a child. I'm an Air Force brat. My dad was a 52 flight engineer during Vietnam. I toured the flight deck and bomb bay area of a 52 and even sat in one of the engine intakes with my little brother during an Armed Services Day event in the 1970s. Makes me feel a little proud that they're still flying strong.
Maybe the audience does not understand this; but as a pilot I can tell you that a flight where an engine needs to be shut down and one of your gear does not extend is considered pretty disastrous. This report makes it seem normal, but I am shocked that they had two emergency situations in one flight.
One of the main landing gear malfunctions would make me more nervous than the single engine shutdown. They still got seven running.
Really? Stop. I'm in the culinary career field, and even I know something like a boeing 747 can fly with 2 of 4 engines off. The landing gear is far more important because of its weight. Aircraft can land with a missing gear, but that's a bit heavier even without its typical payload.
And the time when the engine cut off is probably many hours longer than you've flown in a single run. Lot more going on that you know
@@JosephWallace-xo8sg Yeah a plane can fly without one of its engines but its still an emergency, thats literally how its categorized. You are supposed to land as soon as possible after losing an engine, considering the airplane is only rated to fly with all engines operational and whatever caused the initial failure can lead to additional failures.
62 years old that’s just crazy pice of engineering crazy!
It's not your grandfather's air force, even though you are flying your grandfather's plane.
It is a much better Air Force than our grandparents had.
And your GREAT grandfather's plane.......
And it’s still better than any fixed-rotary wing plane of any country.
@@keegandaily2436 what is fixed-rotary wing supposed to mean? Lol
@@keegandaily2436 LOL. No. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There are many multiple redundant systems on that plane, one advantage of an aircraft that is so well known, and overhauled, upgraded, then tested to its limits many times over, they know what can go wrong, and know they can fix it, and at least make it home, or land safely. What a legendary beauty.
@ibrahimmoncada2710 fuck youre not very sharp are ya?
@ibrahimmoncada2710 Mix in a few B-2's, some B-1b's, a dash of F-117's and maybe even the brand-new B-21 (if they're a couple operational that they're not telling us about) and yeah, that would be a fleet of bombers that could be a core of linebackers.
B52 is a sitting duck for missiles. Nothing special about this plane.
@ibrahimmoncada2710 That's not the purpose of this propaganda piece. This is a flex on Russia, China and Iran. It says this: we can reach you. Remember the B-52 is the oldest asset in the USAF inventory, and it has a capability that none of those countries has. The bigger flex is the stuff they don't talk about. I agree with you, it's propaganda. However, it's an attempt at deterrence, to try and quell rising hostilities, before things escalate.

Can't see this plane without thinking about Slim Pickens riding the bomb swinging his cowboy hat.
Such a classic movie. I don't think it could have been done any better. Slim Pickens, George C Scott, Peter Sellers in 3 roles, and the debut of James Earl Jones.
Yup, timeless classic.
@@goUkraine don't forget Sterling Hayden . a Classic Film , one of my all Time Favorites .
Slim was a last minute decision to play Major Kong. Sellers was supposed to play him but with already playing The President, Mandrake and Strangelove he felt it was too much. Slim stepped in and owned the part. Pickens best role along with his work in Blazing Saddles. “Alright boys it looks like it’s nuclear combat toe to toe with the Russkies!”
And to think, this plane was fairly new state-of-the-art technology when that film came out. I don't know what surprises me more, that the plane is that old or Dr. Strangelove.
@@dayceem The B-52 has been constantly upgraded since it first entered service. The outside may look identical to a 1960s plane, but the electronics and other onboard systems are state-of-the-art.

So much respect and thanks to the U.S. military and navy and everyone who’s protecting America. I know we aren’t the most respectable country but I think one thing that deserves 100% respect and thanks is to the ones who are on the front lines truly to protect us 🙏🫡
Having the worlds largest navy and soon to be worlds largest Air Force is an unsettling thought.
It's a misleading statement about the Navy as China only has 3 Aircraft Carriers to our 11. Their navy isn't very powerful.
@@jado4149 a lot of countries don’t really care about aircraft carriers.
Their navy also consists of very low spec (trash) stolen fishing vessels to inflate the numbers
Ever since the world broke free from 1000s of years of roman slavery, pirates have a large navy
They displace more water, our navy has more warheads... the only thing that needs to worry about china's navy is the coral
makes me proud of all our troops!, THANK YOU for your service!
Now I wonder... Is it that difficult to make a brand new B-52 nowadays?
Not difficult but pointless. A B52 will be easily shot down in a combat zone like what happened in Vietnam. They can only operate in areas with no air defense. That’s why modern bombers are stealth.
I have been saying that for years! Totally new airframes made from modern materials and current avionics and sensors.
Military industrial complexes like to waste taxpayer money on planes like the F-22 and donate to the GOP to fight against tuition forgiveness and universal healthcare.
All the factories are gone, they would have to covert an airline factory
The US did try with the B-1 Lancer but that was quickly retired due to heavy maintenance. Making a new B-52 would be extremely expensive and difficult since the USAF prefers quick low altitude bombing and high altitude precision bombing.
The reason why the B-52 is still in service is because it’s a good platform for carpet bombing and also the only bomber to have an on-board jammer in its tail where the tail gunner used to be while being easy to maintain with modern equipment.
B-52's will still be flying after a nuclear apocalypse. Yep, one tough old bird.
I’m so proud of these young people, so well trained, very professional. My Dad and I were Army, he was commo & I was artillery. Two of my kids are Air Force & love it.
3:54 That's interesting. 0001 is the first B-52H model produced.
Just for clarification on that. 0001 is the first aircraft produced that year. The actual number would be something like 60-0001, meaning it was the first one produced in 1960. And, 61-0001 would be the first one produced in 1961.
@@monteporche5552 " meaning it was the first one produced in 1960."
Yes, I believe that would make it the first H model produced. I'm not exactly sure but I think that's the case.
Dr Strangelove is a good Stanley B52 film.
Flying without bombs just to show the world that we are here to stay...is ridiculously expensive.
Wars are expensive. Sabre rattling is cheap. Every day in Russia they talk on the TV about nuking Europe and it does have an effect. Just a reminder of being a nuclear power has a damping effect on policies and actions of adversaries.
It's more expensive to keep them in mothballs and then have to train a crew how to fly and operate it at the last minute.
Gotta spend that 800 billion somehow
Believe it or not, that B-52 used less fuel on that whole run than it would have if it had been fully combat loaded. It would have had to refuel 2-3 more times if it had been loaded for war.
@@Stargazzer811 Really? I thought a plane carrying more weight would consume less fuel... 🤦♂
15 hours flying my goodness. That soujnds grueling.
This is just for small small countries. This cannot survive in a minute in Russian airspace.
That's why long range standoff munitions exist. America can target the enemy from outside of their threat circles. And in the event a strike deep into an enemy's territory was called for, B-52 would not be the first acft in, not if there's anti-aircraft capabilities. Fighters and drones and stealth acft would go first.
Brainless comment
@@jackburton2680thank you for having a brain nobody else in this comment section seems to have any idea how this plane actually operates
Correct 100%
This video could just as easily be from 1982 when I was an SP guarding them at KISawyer. Almost the same exact words and same images.
Probably the same script, too ;) Didn't have the upgraded electronic countermeasures they blurred out in 2 scenes back then though ;)
5:11 "Right main gear not down." WHICH right main gear???.....forward or aft? This is a B-52, not a 737.
The dreaded seven engine approach
In the old Squadron Signal _in Action_ series I read about a B-52D that took off from Guam for the Linebacker II Operations, lost all four engines from the same side, jettisoned everything he could and was able to return for a safe landing, keeping the flaps up. Amazing.
@duartesimoes508 that's still an asymmetric landing which is still well within the capabilities of the aircraft and pilots train for far worse I can assure you.
@@Flying_GC as long as he doesn't ran out of rudder... but the D had a HUGE rudder! 😀
It's incredible that the first B-52 flew only 7 years after ww2.
A value that looks like their altitude is shown at 2:33, but it's only ~6,000 feet?! Why would they be flying so low? 6,000 ft makes no sense. Or is this measuring something else?

My stepfather flew a Lancaster bomber for the Canadian airforce in WW2. He never talked about it. I didn't even know he was in the war until they had been married for 20 years and my son commented on a picture of a plane that was on the wall. A Lancaster.
Jeez I didn’t think if Russia could shoot down hypersonic projectiles that a b52 was going to pose such a big threat. A hypersonic missile can be anywhere in the world in minutes and they have devised defenses for them yet a b52 will allude those defenses you are saying?? I wish I knew why that makes sense.
Hypersonic missiles have to slow down before hitting their target, that's why they're so easy to shoot down.
because russia can't, they would lose to American cold war tech
The hypersonic missiles are better against static defenses/emplacements a B-52 in the air is obviously always on the move.
It can also fly closer to the ground/water to avoid radar systems which point upward at the sky (obviously) to detect aircraft or airborne weapons.
Tsar Bomba and Satan 2 left the chat 😂😂@@domerame5913
The B-52 missions mission isnt to fly over a territory and drop bombs (well it is). They have cruise missiles that they can launch from miles away from any anti-plane missiles. They do drop bombs directly on target when the US has control over the airspace. They are bomb wagons and are really effecitve when US controls the skies. Not going to happen with the Russians or the Chinese. The truth is that if there is ever a nuclear war, most of those planes wont be coming back. My son flies one of them

During the Vietnam war and a couple of years before I worked on these beautiful aircraft. I was a TF-33 jet engine tech on the B-52H aircraft and loved it. The only thing I hated to do was to remove and replace the engine oil cooler. That was one heck of a job because of where it's located and I have very big hands which didn't help. I eventually took a wrench and bent, twisted and ground for quite a while to make me a special wrench just for that job. It worked great but was still a hard job. I also worked on the KC-135 with the J57-59W Pray and Whitney engine. Also the UH1F choppers which was a very small J58 engine if I remember correctly. Plus so many other aircraft engines which are too many to mention. I always enjoyed working on all the aircraft but these were my favorite with the B-52 being number one.

Rather than pause military equipment production, they likely briefly stripped the required components from imported 'smart' things until their own semiconductor production lines were able to fully supply their needs.
