Had the pleasure of seeing the B-52 up close at an air show a few years ago, it was part of the static display and I got to see it fly. Definitely a treasured memory. Looking at the smoke trail that the B-52 is leaving behind in that pic and smiling at the amount of grief that would give any enviroweenie by looking at it :)
As a new private pilot in 1981; I saw that smoke trail from a distance.
I was going east, smoke trail was coming south. Quickly figured out the smoke trail was a B52 flying UNDER my altitude.
They were doing low level training missions over Iowa then.
