Excellent video!
Thank you for your assistance with the voice over.
The age old legend of the B52. What a plane
She'll be flying for a very long time to come.
@@AviationRepublic wonder if it is still needed in a nuclear capacity
Great video on a greatcplane
Glad you liked it!
The B-52 has never been retired, dude, completely. My dad worked on the Upgrades from the D thru the H version from the early 1960's until 1980's. Now there maybe a J version in the works.
The B-52 will probably stay in service for a little while longer. :-) Joe
Just wanted to let you know that your statement regarding B-52 “D” models being retired after Vietnam is incorrect. “D” model B-52s were modified back to their nuclear weapon capability after the Vietnam conflict and were on (nuclear) alert through the 1970s.
I was stationed at March AFB 1974 through 1976 and the 22nd Bomb Wing (15th Air Force) maintained four “D” models on nuclear alert 24/7/365. Additional aircraft at MAFB were maintained in a ready configuration for nuclear weapons to be uploaded.
“G” and “H” model B-52s were primarily stationed, on alert, at northern tier bases.
Really good stuff, remember me at 100K 🥺
Yeah, great plane. Although is it fair to say a lot of these were retired due to a treaty, not necessarily old age. Good intro though
Thank you, much appreciated. :-) I am pleased you liked the intro.
Not " retired " but destroyed, scrapped , dismantled due to treaty obligations .
It's definitely proved itself, installing newer more powerful engines should increase its capacity but surely by now there would have been a replacement designed?
A contemporary version could take advantage of some stealth tech, afterburners, higher altitude, and all that shizzle for a 'B62'?
Got to love the BUFF. Here's a fact. Though the aircraft is 159′ long with a crew of five, the Stratofortress does not have a toilet. Crewmen instead use bags which are then disposed of upon return to base.
Would have though it would have been the ideal place to drop some bombs.. all that capacity on no space for a portapotty!
Rolls-Royce F-130 engine thrust will be above 17-18k lbs. Your graphic incorrectly stated 13k. I believe the real numbers will be closer to 20K! Thanks
Thanks for the info!
