Worth a Watch. I remember seeing these going over my house when I was a kid, and then finding chaff in my yard. Very impressive up close and personal. I remember the F-101 Voodoo as well.

I spent 8 of my formative years at Ellsworth AFB. We arrived there just as the last of the B52H's there were being sent off to be decommed. They had a B52 on static display as you enter the base and I think every boy that has ever lived on the base has crawled up inside that thing at least once. It was a favorite place to hang out, look at girlie mags and smoke cigs pilfered from our parents.

I remember one day my best friend and I were up in the tailgunner compartment and the seat had been reclined flat. I pulled a lever on it and it shot upright and launched a hunk of metal airborne and right into Jerry's head. He had to get stitches over that one. I don't remember what story we came up with but it must have been a good one cause we didn't get our asses beat for being somewhere really off limits.

B-52's are still BADASS...even at 50 years old approaching 60. I lived out by a SAC Base in Northern CALI back in the 70's....remember these bad boys doing low altitude practice runs way out in what was then the BOONIES...now its suburban sprawl...and the SAC Base was closed by Congress.
