Boeing B-47 Stratojet

Good thing we never nuked anyone after the Japanese - nukes are not something you just toss around but rather have them to create a threat that hopefully prevents others from using theirs on us. I worked nuke air launched missiles in the AF and even taught them at Chanute but we never wanted them launched with live warheads. Luckily things cooled down and are somewhat quiet between the countries that have nukes.

This is a section of the movie Strategic Air Command with Jimmy Stewart isnt it? (bet someone already brought it up, I just didnt look at all the comments).

Man, what a sight seeing all those Stratojets lined up and ready to go! Part of me wishes I had been a part of SAC!

Paperclip technology?

Interesting you say that, because that was Curtis LeMay's intention. He loaded 1,000 B-47's with H bombs, then gave Eisenhower a call requesting permission to wipe Russia off the map. Russia's still there so you know what Ike's answer was.

nahhhhh...:P B-52H all the way!!

Great video, was crew chief on one in late 50s. Occasionally flew as "forth man".

My father was a jet mechanic on this aircraft for several years.

Damn, I bet that flightline smelled good!!!!

Beautiful! (Gals, it's a guy thing)
