Great photos. Just a handful left here at DMAFB boneyard. And many, many aluminum ingots.

Hard to believe it was 50 years ago that I was flying that beast.

Maj Robert Thornton
One of my friends was flying them out of Minot. He ended up getting out and flying for the airlines.

Maj Robert Thornton I was at Kincheloe (in the Michigan UP near Sault Ste Marie) loved the aircraft but was selected to an elite new aircraft and back then in SAC you didn't turn an opportunity like that down.

Excellent view of B-52 and companions (and terraine) I remember going with Mom during the Korean Conflict to a room above the fire station in the town where we lived (of ~1500) where a few ladies did shift work to look for bombers in the sky. And we would see B-52 fly by . . . from Fairchild AFB (in Spokane), usually quite low still. being ~ 50 miles from there. Dad was called back to Hanford for active duty - so I was a BRAT for a while. Nothing like it, lol. Nothing like the B-52, either.
