  • Cold War-era B-52H Stratofortress bombers of the US Air Force arrive in the UK to join NATO forces in Europe. Several passenger & cargo planes also assisted with the deployment. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
    The bomber planes landed at RAF Fairford, a standby airfield for the US Air Forces in Europe. It's the only bomber base of It's kind in the continent and therefore key to the United States European Command area of military operation. 🪖

      You really have to admire a well-landed B52, especially from such a close-in base leg and tight turn to finals rather than a stable 20 mile final. They just have so many wacky features that probably most people don't appreciate: 1) because of the tandem undercarriage you have to touch down with the fuselage level, not nose-high like other aircraft. This requires precise flap and speed settings for the weight at that moment. 2) both front and rear undercarriage steerable, for cross-winds (not visible here). 3) no ailerons -- roll control is only by spoilers, and quite limited in roll rate and responsiveness. 4) the yoke elevator control gives only a very small part of the full control range, used for fine (relatively rapid) adjustments only. Larger adjustments require the (rather slow) trim control. I'll bet that turn to final was way out of what could be done with the control yoke alone (from and to straight flight). 5) the engines on current B52s are far more powerful than the originals, and hanging far down on those pylons, large changes of power level give very large changes in needed trim -- again far more than can be compensated by the elevator control, and if you're not careful the power change can happen faster than the trimmer can move to compensate (especially at takeoff and landing speeds). That 747 that came in is bigger and heavier than the B52, but can be safely flown by comparative amateurs.

    I grew up in the flight path of Castle AFB in California. Twice a year they would practice full scramble of all b-52s. Dozens of them taking off with rocket assist at just above tree level. A bomber roaring overhead every 15 seconds for nearly 15 minutes. No advance notification to us residents. Windows rattled, ground shook. Loved it!

      I was lucky to live in Sumter SC near Shaw AFB. The runway paralleled hwy 378 so you could see every plane imaginable operating out of there. Interesting note. When the current presidential 747’s Air Force One we’re built/completed in the early 1990’s they used Shaw for practice runs..Been decades ago but I seem to remember them doing touch and goes with that giant plane..Actually let the news media know about it.

      Bomber phase! Let's see... Stop drill cracks, remove stuck screws, drill safety wire holes, mic axles, replace engine mounts and so much more fun! I was machinist at Ellsworth AFB from 83 to 91. I got to work the hangars along with the flight line.
      I loved my phase troops, they worked hard for me and I for them. The jet engine, fuel cell and structural repair troops were great along with the crew chiefs.
      As I made rank everyone was my troop, don't be abusing anyone because I knew who to talk to.
      There were good and bad but the the latter were few. I tried like crazy to go with the 52s. Had orders to KI Sawyer and then Loring. My shop chiefs knew if I left they would have to work. They cancelled both orders. So I got to see the Rockwell ripoff take their place. Oh well.

      Problem is, we don't really know enough about what is actually going on inside Russia. Obviously, a nuclear war hasn't started -- we're all still alive, thank God -- but we don't know what forces in Russia are pushing for that solution, or what will happen when Russia figures out they actually cannot nor are they going to win in Ukraine.
      These bombers are a deterrent, absolutely, but Putin seems like a very desperate man determined to win no matter what. He has huge troubles attracting soldiers to his war, so before long he will have to make some decisions: either declaring full war and starting to call up conscripts or take other radical measures into his hands if he wants to win.
      I certainly hope it doesn't get out of hand, I think most people do, but we shouldn't fool ourselves here. We are dealing with one very dangerous man and regime.

I never got to go into the cockpit of his plane, but I did get to explore a B-17 for hours at the time as it was in a hanger by his unit. I'd also spend hours outside as a kid and and watch the B-52s and A-10s fly overhead as we were off base, but only about a mile from the runways.

Didn't mind the noise as they are just so awesome to look at. I got to go inside the cockpit of a B52 stationed in Guam -- a buddy of mind was the flight surgeon for a wing of B52s. Amazing how much added electronics over the decades. In Vietnam I got to watch, hear, and fell the real deal arch light B52 strikes

      And they don't need to fly directly over the target like they did back then. They just need to be within a few hundred miles of the target.

      @@SueSmith1 Sue, the reality is that 15 were shot down during Linebacker 2 in Dec 72, about half of the crewmen immediately dying after being hit. Approximately 1000 SAM missiles were expended to accomplish that, and if the mission route planners had changed the ingress routes, even less would have been lost. Before that, I'd say only a handful were lost to enemy action during the other Arc Light missions. I estimate nearly half of the inventory served at one time during the war. As for Rooskieland, IMO, with our proven low-level penetration method, at least some would get through to their targets. The service of our warrior men and the sacrifice of some in the 52s during Christmas 72 that brought the Communists to the peace table the next month is never lost on me. And the over 700 POWs abandoned after the peace treaty by our Democratic Congress and whose lingering existence was later denied by such people as Sen McCain will forever haunt me. Wishing the best, American lady....
