I was there in July 1971 thru November 1972. I helped put up some of those revetments for linebacker l , but most of them were put up by the Navy Seabees.
I remember you. I was there during that time as well. Worked dispatch and ARC for most of my time. Got pushed out on Christmas day typhoon evac in '89 to Okinawa. Good times.
Hafa Dude! I was there...43rd Supply, POL 85-89, probably bumped into one another a time or two.. Lived down at Andy South and, no doubt, out there somewhere in one of the pump-houses breathing JP-4 while you were filming. Never got tired of seeing those Big Ugly Flying Fukkers scare the ground away as they took off. Too many good memories.
I am looking at the weapons which can be loaded on the B-52H models flying now and one thing that is incorrect about the one on display is that it no longer have the 20mm gun on the rear of the aircraft, but originally it did have the gun on there and it is the only model with that gun. There was another nuclear bomb which was loaded on the G and H models, but I guess it has been discontinued. It was one large bomb and designed to take out an area the size of Louisiana easily.
I worked on the G model on Guam, '70-'74. It originally had 4 '50 cal. guns, which got hot and warped if the gunner held the triggers too long. Later models had the '50 cal rotating gattling guns
Did tdy from July to December 1978 in the FMS welding shop, great time and worked with some of the best people of my time in the Air Force
During the 70's everytime a typhoon hit Kadena, mom my brother, and me would goto the shelters and dad went to Guam with the planes. Good time.

@@skibusch1 H model had the 20mm gatling, not a .50 cal.
All the BUFFs in this video are now in the boneyard at Davis-Motham. Sad.
