A real blast from the past for me. 1955 barely 19 y.o. my 1st assignment a navigator, a B-52 squadron at Westover AFB in Mass.The A.C took me aside the day before my 1ist flight.Said we always take 2 B-4 bags.one with cold weather gear and one with temperate weather gear."Good to be always preped". He smiled, put his hand on my shoulder, and from that moment I felt as I was part of a B-52 crew. Luved that monster plane and the fine crews I flew with for 12 Years; I still have my Weems E-6B looks a bit diff from the one used on board that 52.That ,my Capt trax and my wings are the only things left......Time to wish those kids the best of it all

Good show. Always fun watching the BUFFs in action.

"Strategic Air Command" starring Jimmy Stewart is a good movie to see the B-36 and eventually the B-47, both at Barksdale.

@barrygordon1173 Год назад

B-36 was never at Barksdale...

@heretoforeunknown Год назад

@@barrygordon1173 Dutch is given a staff job with the bombardment wing at Carswell that involves a lot of flying. Well, the B-36 COULD have landed once or twice at Barksdale.......

Great video! Too bad the volume on the crew chatter was too low for me to pick it up.

The movie with Jimmy Stewart on the b 52 was true to its flight . My husband was one a one of the crew on 52s . So many times they would flight out in the morning , he would say see you to night , it did not happen it would be days before they returned.

How sad, Barksdale AFB looks now. I served there in 1975, we had more than 40 B-52, and 40 plus KC-135s all on the flight line at once... LOTS of activity. Today, that flght-line looks like a ghost town now. Imagine flight and maintenance of 80 plus aircraft.. 24-7... Now THATS an AIR FORCE !

@cmscms123456 3 года назад

OH and forgot to mention we had 5 B-52's on the "Christmas tree" Bomber Alert, and 5 KC-135s on Tanker Alert... 24-7 baby.... 24-7...

I spent 14 years at BAFB didn't see many changes except no KC135s.Thats where I retired.

@cmscms123456 3 года назад

Back in 1975, there was no way a B-52 could taxi out to the runway, without having to stop at least twice for other aircraft traffic. Something else taxiing, or something being pushed or towed... This place looks like a 'stroll in the park' to me.

@cmscms123456 3 года назад

I was most struck by.. the flight line was so 'quite'... when I was there, on day shift, something was always screaming, engines running, someone is taxiing, takeoffs, landings, Back then Barksdale AFB looked more like Los Angeles International Airport... It was not safe, to stand still anywhere on that flight line, you were likely to get run over or blown over.

Yep. I was there on the flight line 78-82. Security Police.

2007: Barksdale AFB, where a maintenance troop recognized a live nuclear cruise missile on a buff which had flown in from Minot and was enroute to bomb Iran. He called it in to maintenance control, who notified the command post, and upchanneled it to SAC HQ. Security forces were alerted and a nuclear war was averted. Dick Cheney almost started a nuclear war. And then the cover-up started. Punish the innocent. Allow the war criminals to slide. Go figure.

@@badguy1481 i bet my dad worked on your plane. TSgt. Cooper. He told me he was called to a B-52 with problem with plane. Turns out Nav forgot to clear system and plane went into snow pile on sane taxiway.

@badguy1481 4 года назад

@@briancooper2112 Don't remember such an incident...but it could have happened. Of course the pilots taxi the B-52 on the taxi ways as well as the main runway during takeoff and landing. Possibly there may have been an ice issue that may have caused the plane to slip off a taxi way. Don't know. K.I. always kept the runways and taxiways pretty clear of ice and snow. Never remember having a problem taxiing around the field. I DO remember a B-52 running off the end of the runway a McConnell AFB in Wichita, Kansas. I was working an short term assignment there (as a civilian contractor) and landed in a tanker just before the B-52. The base had a very low ceiling, with a lot of fog. We almost had to divert to another base because the visibility was so bad. Evidently the B-52, I'm guessing, landed long and didn't brake soon enough to avoid going off the end.
