If you want to see smoke from a jet, look up footage on RUclips of America's 1950s B-47 Stratojet bomber (the B-52's predecessor). That thing not only had smoky engines, but used rocket-assisted takeoff in many cases! Probably one of the most dangerous planes the USAF ever operated, and it's no wonder they made the switch to the much better B-52 as soon as possible.
When Concorde (002) was based at Fairford in the 1970's it earned itself the nickname of "Smokey Joe" as it used to push out almost as much smoke as a B52!!..😂😂.....

I was a B-52 crew chief at Barksdale AFB from 85-89. Brings back memories.
Matt, As always you've done a superb job. 2 cameras and managing to film through the fence. I wish I lived closer and could have been there.👍 Steve.
HOLY SMOKE ! Batman and Robin are departing Base Loiter always first choice for plane lovers
Brings back great memories, worked on G and H model in my career. Love the BUFF. Thanks for the video.
I saw a B-29 that was used as a museum piece and thought it was awesome. I would actually plan a trip around seeing a B-52.
Blimey that's a lot of smoke even for them!

Hopefully the new engines are even smokier.
