Audio of pilot-to-crew and pilot-to-pilot conversations during an Arc Light raid.

It's gripping. Unforgettable. You have to listen to the whole thing though.

Part I
Part II
Part III
Part IV
Part V

They come under fire from SAM batteries, and some aircraft are lost.

Sorry, the audio is of a Linebacker II mission, not Arc Light. The target is Hanoi.

I've listened to those about three times now. Damn.

When I was in high school, the local airport had a fly-in/airshow. Our band did a performance. The highlight of the show was a B-52 flyover. That thing came in, couldn't have been more than 1500 feet, bomb bay doors open.

Impressive, to say the least.
