    My father served on B-52's as tail gunner ( yep, old days), and as crew chief till his retirement in 1968. We slept well when we heard them leave then again when they came home. We would ride with mom to the flight line fence to see him home and to pick him up. He always saved us the Chicklets gum from his meal boxes!!

Many years ago I was privileged to work beside Men back then there were no women in that part of the service for similar work..For Several weeks I got to learn the logistical sides and just how fit and talented these men were and a real education happened for me. Although my NCO stats were meaningless as to respect. Respect came from WORK Not just completed but Done WELL. Earning that respect was a feeling well earned That felt so good , And missed now. It is a PRIDE earned and seeing it brings back so many memories.. Thanks great vid.

    During the Vietnam War we loaded Mk 82's, Mk 84's, and the Cluster bombs on the B-52's and it seemed like there was many more bombs loaded internally, and externally back then. Those bombs have to be plugged into the system, and I am assuming that only one or a few bombs are dropped on one target.

      Sidney Mathious Carpet bombing isn’t really needed anymore. Lost quite a few B-52 over Vietnam that way. These Jdams can be dropped at a higher altitude and are gps guided to help reach their target on the ground. The B-52 can carry them internally and externally.

      Of the approx. 13 variants of the B-52(including all the various prototype builds) because you were working during the Vietnam War and because it seemed as though the B-52 you were working on appeared to hold a lot more bombs, you were probably working on a B-52 "D" variant. Of the 744 B-52s built, there were 170 of the "D" variants built, making the D variant the 2nd most common B-52 variant. Only the B-52 "G" was built in greater numbers with 192 G's being built from 1959 through 1961(50 in 1959, 106 in 1960 and 37 in 1961-the D models entered service with the US AirForce February, 13 1959 ).
      The D variants numbers 170 with: 1 built in 1956, 92 in 1957 and 77 built in 1958. The D variant entered service with the USAF in December 1956. The D B-52 model was the only B-52 variant to have the "Big Belly" modification which allowed for carpet bombing over Vietnam.
      The ONLY B-52 operating today is the B-52 H, after the nuclear capable B-52G was retired for New Start treaty. The remaining B-52 H's are now kept at a certain number. As of June 2019 the current B-52H inventory is.
      Inventory: Active force, 58 (test, 4); ANG, 0; Reserve, 18
      Everytime a B-52 is lost, another B-52 is brought out of the desert, remanufactured to B-52H specs and put back into duty. Keeping the B-52 at full strength is important to retain US strength as the B-52 is under control of the NEW START nuclear treaty.
      The B-52 H along with the equipment to support guided weapons. It can launch SINGLE bombs at single targets. The B-52H and the B-1B Lancer alternate being deployed to the Middle East for use in Close Air Support. Guys on the ground callout fire missions, the B-52 can self designate its own targets using its own Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod. She has also recently gotten the LINK-16 capabilities.

      Yes it does. When you hook the lanyard onto the HSAB (heavy stores adapter beam) the connector releases as the bomb falls away. We had different cables for different configurations. The jdam unit on the back of the bomb would get data from the weapons computer for gps backed up by INS so that in the event of satellite signal loss the INS would maintain targeting coordinates. The cables were retained and used repeatedly.

    I hated working on those bomb lifts, big leaky hydraulic pieces of garbage. I figured they would have developed new equipment for this job. 17 years after I got out

    I didn’t know the wings have Lansing gear too. I guess the wings are so long it needs them to stop drooping.

      When the tip tanks are loaded with water yes water for injection into the jets for added boost the wing tips are about 5 feet off of the ground. When the BUFF returns from a mission and the plane is at it lightest the tips are about 15 feet off of the ground. The wings in flight can flex about 18 to 20 feet at the tip.
