I love the sound of them throttling up. And the moment when the wings bow up, and they lift off the ground is one of the most beautiful sights in Flight
I served with the 92d Security Police Squadron at Fairchild AFB, we had the B-52 and KC-135's on 15 minute ground alert fully loaded and fueled. Klaxons sounded at least once a week to test our readiness. We never failed!!!
While I worked at NORTEL, we installed the phone system at Fairchild AFB. I left a few weeks before the B52 crashed. The B52 in front of the NCO club came from Travis AFB at one time.
Thanks for the post. I was in 91st Security Police Squadron at Minot from 78-80. This brings back lots of memories. Back then, we were still SAC with 5 Nuc. loaded Buffs and 5 KC 135s on 24 hour alert.
This video doesn’t catch the roaring, deep rumble at takeoff. Nothing like a SAC B-52 MITO done right. This brought back seriously beautiful memories of my time in SAC!!
Always awesome to see, especially on the flight line which I did in Feb 1968 during the TET airlift Iwas on from Dover AFB to Barksdale Airlifting 100+ Cobra Gunships and munitions to NAM around the clock. Was an avionics tech.🗽🇺🇸
Some of the B52 were not from Minot AFB. They had LA on the tail, which is Barksdale AFB. A friend of mine was at Travis AFB while the 5BW was there. They had B52G there.
However, that program was all but scrapped and redesigned in 1948, after the creation of an independent Air Force and under Air Force leadership. It wasn't until 1948/9 that the ultimate and distinctive profile of the eventual B-52 appeared in the 464-49 model.
The H model had the low bypass turbofan engines that put out much more thrust at low airspeed, ie takeoff and climb, so water injection wasn't necessary. But water I ejection wasn't used for every takeoff even in the models that had water injection. I flew G models and, depending on temperature and wind, we only used water injection when necessary. We always took off at max gross weight, so weight wasn't a variable for us but if thenplane was light it wouldn't require water injection.
I was a kid during the Cold War, but I still remember the B-52s lined up row after row after row on the tarmac at March Air Force Base in Riverside CA. The Bombers are gone now and the Base has become a Reserve Base but it still boasts a national land and sea smuggling interdiction facility as well as a global media transmission system for our armed forces. But with the current administration's open boarder policies I have to wonder if our "interdictions" mean anything anymore?
If this was a real-world scenario, there would be sirens blaring in the background and each of those bombers would be carrying several nuclear weapons, each of them several hundred times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Those H models are sure quiet and lot less smoke than the D model I worked on in 1966 to 1970 with Turbo Jet Engines, J57 water injection, than these Turbo Fans far better trust on the these engines.
I noticed the flames shooting out of the engine on one of those planes, not a good thing. I would guess that engine needed replacement after that flight.
I remember the old days when they had the older less powerful engines with water injection and they do an Elephant walk.... the last bird taking off was buffeted all over the place from all the unstable air he had to fly through!!!!
That's true, but missiles can't be recalled once their launched, but a bomber can be told to abort the mission. There could be negotiations going on while B-52s and B-2s are in the air. Its going to take them a while to get where they're going. Once they get there the bombers could loiter around, probably just outside the range of their own cruise missiles, the B-52s primary nuclear weapon is the ALCM AGM-86 which is an air launched cruise missile with a range of 1500 nm.
I would like these aircraft fitted with an extra engine up on the top with the tail fin thing built into it , just to increase its speed even further . Would that work ?
Probably not, as the airframe and all related aerodynamic properties were designed around 4/8 wing mounted engines, so it’d lead to a whole host of problems relating to structure and stability. That’s not even considering the wealth of cost associated with such a large modification that isn’t even necessary
@@tris1452 The tail assembly is not made to support an engine with it, the engine would rip the stabilizer off creating real problems, One B-52 H made it home with most of the horizontal stabilizer gone using the thrust of the hound dog missiles and the eight engines.
I bet there were some frantic communications from people who's job it is to watch that base. I hope they got tracked and will be used for the upcoming cyber strike back.
considering that this was an exercise (by the fact that we're all still alive) the russians would've been informed that this was scheduled long before the exercise ever started.
MITOs are designed to get the bombers off the ground at roughly 15 second intervals so you can get all of them up and out to nuke whoever affronts the US before their nukes hit the base. Like anything, you have to keep in practice to stay good at it.
baseballguy2001 we have a old SAC base in the state i live, B-47’s & 52’s were their and at our state fair park they had 2 of those bombers displayed in memory of once was, well they scrapped them and made a parking lot in place of the bombers, just pissed me off when they did that. Too bad we don’t still have SAC around anymore, i think our country is more vulnerable without it. IDK maybe I’m wrong?

I watched this exercise circa 1965 at the original Turner Field in Albany, GA.
Sat on my bike and counted 62 of 'em going over me at about 1000 feet.

Old machine, but, to this day, very powerful
Maybe Old But Very Graceful. Never Ask Lady Her Age
And she's going to get even better when they give her the new engines they're developing.
Was at Ellsworth from 57 to 59 we had 48 B52s in 3 Squardrens the 77th 717 and 718 good old days

One thing that i respect from the US Army and US Air Fore is this B-52 Stratofortress bomber.
US Army has nothing to do with the B-52, it's strictly USAF.
sskyking1 US Army started the program that produced this bomber just a couple of years before the Air Force split off.
However, that program was all but scrapped and redesigned in 1948, after the creation of an independent Air Force and under Air Force leadership. It wasn't until 1948/9 that the ultimate and distinctive profile of the eventual B-52 appeared in the 464-49 model.
Pulled several alerts at Minot from Ellsworth on an EC 135a 87-88.
Under the best commander in chief!
Flame out of engine number 4 at 3:08?
afterburn lol
no it's not afterburn look at the other planes no fire..
Anton Corre i was joking....
Compressor stall , bird strike ?
That last B-52's Reaction time was on point
It's odd to see a MITO without all the smoke! What was it about the H model that did not require water ejection? 379th BW 1968-1972 SSgt
The H model had the low bypass turbofan engines that put out much more thrust at low airspeed, ie takeoff and climb, so water injection wasn't necessary. But water I ejection wasn't used for every takeoff even in the models that had water injection. I flew G models and, depending on temperature and wind, we only used water injection when necessary.

3:09: anyone noticed flame from the engine?
You'd have to be blind to miss it.
shotgun start.
called a cart start lol been there sad to be there again
Yup! Vtec kicked in yo!
Hey man - I subscribed to you just to be a dick. OTOH, I think we know each other, so perhaps you might expect that. A Ξ

The reaction to the sound of the claxon.
Looks like the first man off had a rear undercart. problem?
Yes I noticed that also very slow to retract if it did at all.
This takes me back in time. Served in SAC 1971 two 1975. Minot North Dakota, and. Utapao Thailand.. aircraft, electrical repair man. ✈️
Thanks to SAC, nuclear war was avoided.
these B52s would be double tapping an already nuked target , the minute man and trident missiles would have already hit

El chiflido que suena de esos motores es muy agudo, pero a la vez es un rugir potente de esos maravillosos aviones militares. 😃👍
my daughter was there loading as these are Barksdale B52's.
It's a bit colder at Minot than balmy Barksdale, I'd imagine.
Kathy Armstrong ....I love having these beautiful old birds here at Barksdale! Much appreciation to your daughter!
That was Minot that the scramble was filmed from not Barksdale!
@@GM8101PHX Yes this scene is at Minot but at least half of the planes are from Barksdale. That big LA on the tail tells the story.
Thanks for sharing! And giving us the raw sound of A B52 instead of some lame ass music
Remember when they would do a MITO and water inject? That was powerful.

OUTSTANDING I was proud to wear the Blue!
Vote Blue 💙 stop trumpism
check out at 3:08 the engine starts on fire they didin't notice that?
fod
If these beauties cant set loaded with nukes, what the purpose of MITO’s anymore?
Not positive, but I don't think they do them anymore. SAC is no more, and the MITO exercises went bye bye too.
baseballguy2001 ahh ok, i knew SAC was gone but i figured they still had the MITO exercises. Wonder how long it takes to get nukes loaded if needed?
