My dad served from53 66 in the Air Force sgt dan Bradford jr of South Carolina Boykin today his grandson is a technician sgt every time I see these bombers I’m proud of all who served god bless our military

This airplane's service date will likely end up being close to 100 years. That's incredible. Legendary.

Yes no other airplane has ever done this, it’s just a testament to the original design

Over 60 years ago, B52s would occasionally do touch and goes at Fallon NAS, now the Top Gun school. They would circle the valley at low altitude, hitting the runway maybe every 15 minutes. My grandmother and I would drive out and park on a friend's property immediately west of the end of the 12,000 foot runway, just to experience the racket as they went over at no more than 200 feet altitude on takeoff power. Not for the faint of heart....I wish I could remember the local livestock's reaction.

Back in the early 70's used to watch take offs and landings at Carswell AFB in Ft. Worth, TX. Hours upon hours spent in the sun watching these incredible aircraft.

The big Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is so impressive to watch taking off and landing as well as in flight. I recall reading many years ago that the pilots nicknamed them the “BUF” for the “Big Ugly Fellow”. In my eyes though, they are a thing of beauty and power.

Robert Sparkes : You are actually a little older than the B-52. Well, actually, maybe not. It depends on when they were first built. They first flew in April of 1952, just four months before I was born. I don't know when the first B-52 was actually built, but they first flew in April of 1952, and I was born in August, 1952. The planes are much older than the people who fly them.

The B-52 is iconic. I remember seeing pictures of the Grim Reaper painted on some of them...l kinda got a chuckle out of that. That said, they've brought death and destruction to so many in it's time, so I guess having the Grim Reaper painted on it is justified.

Surprised no negative responses here, amazing!

Holy X, two pair of engines per wing is one thing, but the wingspan is superb.

3:00 oh! I've never seen that before on a plane! The B-52's wings have wheels and stork-like legs holding them up from scraping the ground, then when it's taking off and in flight, the wings are hoisted up by the flow of air over the wings, that's so cool!

Spent four years with these old gals at Barksdale AFB La they would run those engines up late at night for alerts and after about 6 months that sound became very comforting like really loud white noise it would shake the dorms on take off whenever I'm back in bossier I still love the sound of these bad boys 👍👍👍to all the pilots and crew and ground crew thanks guys

If you look closely at where the wing meet the fuselage through the wingtips, the leading edge of the wing is at a fixed angle up, probably for improved lift since the B-52s lack of rotation at takeoff.
