The B-52 is an extraordinary aircraft.

What a testament to the designers and builders of an aircraft when it pays for itself 10 times over. The F/A-18 is another stroke of genius as well as the F-16 and AV-8B Harrier Jumpjet.

Interestingly, the B-52 has a tendency to pitch its nose lower than it's tail. I love the SCREEEEEEEEEAM of a B-52 in flight!!!

Yes, extraordinarily large targets.

Time to sit back with a few eggrolls and watch the SHTF and obama get his a88 mauled once again.

You know, I'm almost afraid to say this, but I'm ashamed of the folks on FR because I had to scroll down to Post #45 before someone posted pictures of one the most amazing aircraft ever to fly and serve the USAF.

You've all (except Zeneta :D) been duly chastised.

Ok, enough of the sarcasm. I'm not ashamed of anyone. I'm just glad someone finally posted these!!!!!!
