That is pretty incredible when you think about it. Used to love watching them take off and land out March Airforce Base near Riverside, CA….they’re jut so large and boggles the mind how they stay aloft.
Just walked under a couple of variants here in AZ at the Pima Air museum. Always just in awe of their size! Amazing how we can create something like this that can sustain flight...!
A fighter jet did a loop over a B-52 in flight and on the guard channel says, "Can yo do that bomber?" The B-52 stays silent and then says, "Can you do that fighter?" The fighter pilot says, "You did nothing but fly level." The bomber replies, " I just shut down two engines..."
Cool but the strategic implication is that Russias strategic forces (nuclear) are well aware that these B-52 bombers carry nuclear tipped cruise missiles that can evaporate their families in an instant. At a moment in the world where US/NATO officers are planning the Ukrainian strikes into Russia, including against strategic assets - flying B-52 this close to Russia is an escalatory move that a smarter President like Kennedy would have avoided. But then he was killed by the CIA and here we are. Sweden escorting B-52s is just an example that our politicians have no clue what they are doing.
What an amazing plane... it was built to last for a long time, but we never imagined it was going to be this long. It is expected to last till 2050...there is no other country that can match this fire power, even the Russians are still using turbo props. this is truly a generational bomber. 👍💪

I don’t like them saying it is Russia’s back yard. It is not Russia’s anything. Russia can keep to their own, grim territory and do what ever they want there.
@@hepphepps8356 Why do you think that Russia has a gloomy territory? Is that what they showed you in American stupid movies? Have you been to Russia personally?
I flew the 'G’ model BUFF in the mid-70s on SAC alert against the USSR after I got back from Guam’s bombing missions. Do you see those two center levers, the tallest ones? I used those two during air-to-air refueling after the copilot set all eight levers and got all their sets of gauges to the same readings, when we stabilized with the boom right in front of us. Then after the KC135 boom operator washed our windows, checked our oil, and checked the air in all of our ten tires; he'd clear us in. That's when I'd take charge of the two tall levers to move forward until he moved the boom’s probe from in right in front of us to insert the probe for us to lock it in. But as pilot, I never watched or looked at the boom. I transitioned early on to see the 3D array of points on the bottom of their airplane that I used to hold our position behind and below the tanker. While we practiced 'break aways', an emergency separation that could be called by the boom operator, KC135 pilot, or B52 pilot, I never had an unplanned one. There were stories of the Buff coming home with the boom still plugged in and that sure never happened to me. I did land once with a low tire that heated way up but didn't blow. I blamed the boom operator for not checking every tire.
A very impressive aeroplane by any standards, but knowing very little about it I would have thought that the B52 would be an easy target with modern surface to air missiles and other AA weaponry, they are such a massive target and not easy to hide.
Yesterday a BUFF flight went to Lituania, watched via flightradar. A GAF Tanker too was in the vincinity and way below an AH64 was transmitting.

@@anais-teodoruCome on. Russia is doing the same in NATOs backyard for decades. Whats going on now in Ukraine has more to do with a big ego of a small man…
@@ckeuer Ukrainians, having plundered the legacy of the USSR, decided to sell security and national pride to Russia. With the collapse of the Union, Russia left Ukraine territories like brothers, without demanding the return of what the Ukrainian SSR received as a gift from the RSFSR. The leadership of Ukraine, to please Britain and the United States, decided to remove the Russian naval base from Crimea and install bases for the United States and Britain. Bases in Crimea and Ochakov led to Russia losing the Black Sea. All this led to the political "failure" of modern Russia in the 17th century, and all the sacrifices Russia had suffered in this region for several centuries would have been in vain. In addition, Zelensky, against the backdrop of intensifying shelling of the Russian-speaking DPR and LPR, began to threaten Russia with nuclear weapons at the official level. About a year before the start of the invasion, the Russian expert community began to discuss the topic of moving the capital of Russia inland. Add to this offensive chants towards Russians and the President of Russia, which ordinary citizens of Ukraine began to demonstrate everywhere. Apparently, due to the current situation, after calculating losses, threats, costs and political damage, the Russian authorities came to the conclusion that a war, even the most difficult one, would be cheaper. If Russia had not started hostilities, it would have begun to seem weak and neglecting the memory of its ancestors (this is exactly what the leadership of Ukraine tried to do for many years) and no sane country would respect it. That is why Putin says that the goals of the special operation will be achieved in any case.
The sound of those 8 engines running up on takeoff is unforgettable. The BUFF lives on!!
I grew up near a SAC airbase. Seeing B-52s flying around was a normal, everyday cold war occurrance. I'm glad to see they're still in service.

I was amazed at how cramped the flight deck was when I first looked into a B52 in a museum.
I will disappoint you guys, while you were "allegedly" getting to the backyard, air defense missile batteries led you from 400 kilometers while you were still on approach to the fence of this yard. And in a real fight, you would already be dead.
The same batteries that are being destroyed by Ukrainian FPV drones? 😂😂😂
sheeeett....my Huey gunship had that endurance....................when it was in the cargo hold of a C5 galaxy
Imagine a tu-95 would fly in US backyard. Hypocrisy at its best.
Bear Bombers regularly test US and Canadian airspace
Mi spiace ma non siete più la prima super potenza mondiale....
@@ildandellacampana901 Perhaps you can tell us who is?
@@nathanthompson3401 Gli USA hanno dominato cieli e terra dalla ww2 alla guerra fredda, ma non si sono accorti che qui il mondo é andato avanti zitto zitto senza la propaganda in stile Hollywood Americana, la Cina super potenza economica non é rimasta nei campi di riso, idem la Russia, vero che gli USA hanno un arsenale da fantascienza, questa è la verità, ma altri paesi ormai sono allo stesso livello, questa è la verità, che piaccia o no.....i cittadini Americani sono i ben venuti qui in italia che si divertano e godano il paese, le armi e le guerre delle lobby no, nemmeno le bombe....
semplicemente quasi tutto il mondo civilizzato si é evoluto, i Cinesi non lavorano più solo nei campi di riso, i Russi non bevono più solo vodka, questi sono luoghi comuni di propaganda, l'egemonia USA sta sparendo, il mondo da questa parte zitto zitto é andato avanti, non siamo più contadini poveracci, questa é la verità, l'italiano che scappa con la valigia di cartone cercando fortuna in america non esiste più, l'Europa, l,Asia sono cresciute senza lo zio Sam.....l'industria bellica è cresciuta a dismisura qui, solo che forse non ve ne rendete conto, vero é che gli USA hanno un arsenale da paura, ma gli altri non sono stati fermi a vedere...
One aircraft. Massive statement of US firepower. Beautiful machine.
I was a Buff pilot for many years. I never remember flying with just headset, always had to have at least one pilot on helmet and Oxygen. One scene shows the CP seat with the ejection pin still installed. Nice new electronics, but its still a pilot flying that keeps thing in the air. I would go back tomorrow given the chance, a great airplane. Hard to fly well, but really rewarding. Imagine flying 300 feet above the ground at 500 knots through the mountains of Wyoming at night and you will understand what we practiced to do if called upon. This airplane, when I flew it, was a deterrent to the Soviet Union and kept this country free.
Why did they both take helmets etc off I wonder
russians spent all their money on tech to build missiles,rockets to take out these flying targets--useless in a real fight with a real adversary--they will all be blasted out of sky in minutes-flying joke and everybody but you knows it--russians would have liquidated the usa anytime they wanted to--don't be delusional
I was Nav & RN, 1978-1987, Grand Forks & Carswell. Didn't recognize most of the panels in the "Battle Station."
Amazing thing is that airplane is older than the crew who flew on it
TRUMP PLEASE COME BACK AND END WAR !!!!
Please explain how he will do this?
@@AndreasMahlow He said he will ! I'm not in his mind but when there's a will, there's always hope !
@@2e7seh Tell this to Putin...
@@2e7seh Tell this to Putin...
@@AndreasMahlow Putin defended the Dombass , he didn't start this war! The conflict started in 2014 pushed by NATO expansion over Ukrain! It is well documented and veryone knows that!
I wanted to ask what happens if US retires something like an aircraft, do they sell it to other countries or they just leave it in the desert or museums? Thanks
I started my Air Force career as an aerial tailgunner in 1978 on the D model, I was actually in the tail. moved up to the G and H models later, much more comfortable ride as far as the big ol’ fat fellow goes.
Flying in Russia's backyard... and then we wonder why Russia is doing what it's doing now...
Yes!) with love from Russia!)
@@anais-teodoruCome on. Russia is doing the same in NATOs backyard for decades.
Whats going on now in Ukraine has more to do with a big ego of a small man…
@@ckeuer Ukrainians, having plundered the legacy of the USSR, decided to sell security and national pride to Russia. With the collapse of the Union, Russia left Ukraine territories like brothers, without demanding the return of what the Ukrainian SSR received as a gift from the RSFSR. The leadership of Ukraine, to please Britain and the United States, decided to remove the Russian naval base from Crimea and install bases for the United States and Britain. Bases in Crimea and Ochakov led to Russia losing the Black Sea. All this led to the political "failure" of modern Russia in the 17th century, and all the sacrifices Russia had suffered in this region for several centuries would have been in vain. In addition, Zelensky, against the backdrop of intensifying shelling of the Russian-speaking DPR and LPR, began to threaten Russia with nuclear weapons at the official level. About a year before the start of the invasion, the Russian expert community began to discuss the topic of moving the capital of Russia inland. Add to this offensive chants towards Russians and the President of Russia, which ordinary citizens of Ukraine began to demonstrate everywhere. Apparently, due to the current situation, after calculating losses, threats, costs and political damage, the Russian authorities came to the conclusion that a war, even the most difficult one, would be cheaper. If Russia had not started hostilities, it would have begun to seem weak and neglecting the memory of its ancestors (this is exactly what the leadership of Ukraine tried to do for many years) and no sane country would respect it. That is why Putin says that the goals of the special operation will be achieved in any case.
