this is a crazy MITO - glad there is an explanation on that G model. As a kid I would see this when fishing the Au Sable by Sawyer's sister base Wurtsmith in Oscoda. Seem to recall two 52's then a 135 and repeat. great memories, loudest thing i have ever heard. SAC was instrumental in keeping the peace 1950's to when the Wall fell. I am sure the m a r x i s t s running everything now will cancel it too.

I was SAC late '70s - early '80s. I remember many MITO launches, including one in particular for an exercise or an ORI, just after dawn on a Sunday morning circa 1980. We launched almost every non-alert B-52D and KC-135A we had, and awakened the good citizens of the valley with the unearthly, window rattling howl of one J57 water wagon after another. We figured if we had to be awake at 6 am on a Sunday, everyone in the valley should have to be awake, too. 😄

Stationed at Loring from '76 - '80. I was in charge of 2nd shift maintenance on a KC-135 flight simulator. The simulator was inside of a mobile railcar parked just outside the flightline. Whenever the klaxon would scream, the crew in the simulator would come racing out of the cockpit. We would hold all the doors wide open to ensure their speedy exit. They hopped in their blue trucks and went flying down the road. Then we would watch all the controlled chaos on the flightline. We had a great view. It was awe inspiring to watch all those bombers and tankers line up at the runway. We would hold our breath while waiting to see if the planes actually launched. Thankfully, they never did.

Yes, it was close. They put the B-52G behind the H models as they knew they were faster. Ths G did not use water so the tankers caught up to it. After liftoff the tanker told the G not to climb as it was passing it.

The wail of B-52 engines is something engrained in me, even though I was pretty young while living there from 85 to 88. I have mixed feelings about the closing of K.I. Sawyer. It was a wonderful community and a great place to live, and it got me loving the north woods and Lake Superior. But it also was a de-escalation from the scary days of the Cold War.
