One of the funniest movies of all one in my opinion. Yet, the plot seemed all too real. LTC (Join to see)

B-52 in action
It's funny how the American Air Force was questioning the director on how they got the B-52 interior so accurate. They had pretty good people guess how the interior would look like. They rented a B-17 to fly over Iceland or Greenland to get the scene

First, a great movie, IMO. Peter Sellers characters rocked! Slim Pickens inspired generations of EOD Techs to sit on nukes and "ride the bull"! Not that I've ever seen or done it on a B-61! LOL

The B61 nuclear bomb is the primary thermonuclear gravity bomb in the United States Enduring Stockpile following the end of the Cold War. It is a low to intermediate-yield strategic and tactical nuclear weapon featuring a two-stage radiation implosion design.[1]

I'm only glad that there were no such things as cell phone cameras and that they would probably been prohibited from the WSA anyway. No proof exists! Never happened! LMAO

Per my mentor - you must memorize and practice until you can repeat in your sleep -
"I have no distinct recollection of that matter . . . Senator."
Never deviate from that mantra - never elaborate - or Senate may charge contempt.
Warmest Regards, Sandy :)
