I was stationed there, it is indeed in Florida and not Arizona. And it is the home of AC-130's, in other words it was a short flight across the road to the park.
It’s about time they fitted this museum piece with engines that don’t make the sky black when it takes off or starts up its engines. It must be the biggest polluting plane on the planet.!
For a second or two, the WW 2 segment showed what looked like a B 24 Liberator during the B 17 portion, was a curious choice. You can`t mistake the twin tail plane.
i worked in fuel systems on the B52 at travis AFB in 1966. when the wing tanks were full , they almost touched the ground . sometimes we would just hop up on the wing , walk to the tank we needed to fix and remove the cover and they were crazy loud when taxing by our work area .
It’s sad when they are retired to become a bird rest stop. The worst has got to be becoming a target drone. I always think of the maintenance personnel that sweated and froze keeping all that metal ready to go. In a moments notice. Oh the lucky ones that could fit into a hanger in the frozen winter months of Michigan. We had just a few bases there.
The American Airlines Maintenance Center in Tulsa is pretty huge too. Although AA management has been outsourcing heavy maintenance for a while now. I’m not sure how many jobs they still have.
I mean our best bomber first flight was in 74! I’ve always said when WW3 breaks out these fancy new aircrafts won’t win us the war it’s going to be the old ones that are built faster and are cheaper to make!
I got to sit in a B-52 co-pilot's seat. Incredibly cramped. Hats off to the crews that fly these and keep them flying.
Now the Air Force Museum is restoring the “Swoose”,the only B-17D in existence.
Hurlburt, is in Florida.

Correct, except for that random comma that doesn’t belong.
What an amazing aircraft. Thanks for the presentation.
B-1B,B-2,B-21:
Grandfather,Are you all right?
The BUFF is hugely versatile,that’s why they kept it around so long.
Super job on this one! Thank you very much. 😃😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤
Great information. Thank you

Anyone notice the alien heads in the windows of the airframe while on the trailer at 5 minute mark? 😂

Could a museum resident B-52G be upgraded/converted to a B-52J?
Hurlburt Air Field is in Florida, not Arizona.

Now a fitting a name would be fighting Gertrude.
I would like to see much more images and updates about the engine rebuild of the B-52. Thanks.
Hopefully the latest upgrade has a dvd/vd player instead of a play only cassette
Why no 8 Tracks?
Why are they so inaccurate? It’s not even worth watching after reading a few comments.
There are actually a lot of B-52's in the bone yard.
All but one or two are just parts bins. None of those are viable for reactivation.
Of course, it in Oklahoma, because without DOD jobs, there would be no business in Oklahoma

1:15 B-52 flyin a bit close to Russian airspace???
Those be Russian airforce jets!!!
So what… the Russians do this even when they’re not anywhere near Russian airspace.
Seeing people in masks just pisses me off.y’all can’t get newer footage?
The United States Air Force is flying museum pieces around pretending they can survive on the modern battlefield. It’s absolutely ludicrous.
They are cheaper to operate and maintain than the B2s. They still serve a purpose.

You have no clue
They scrapped all G models they could have pulled those from the desert. 700 built we have 88 that can fly
