When did they put the fence around the plane? Was in Guam 99-01 and absolutely love every second...Ironically I was at a golf outing with the late Derek Thomas (KC Chiefs)...He and I talked at length about the respect he had for the military. His fathers name is on the Arc Light Memorial. I was in Guam when Derek passed...
My Dad served in Arc Light and in Guam. He may not have flown that plane but I'm sure the engines were fixed by him a time or two. Thanks for posting.
I just found it on this Memorial Day 2009. The video and the old tail number 0100 brought back a flood of memories for me as I flew quite a few bombing missions in that bird back in 1965-1966-1967.

Your video was showing on my youtube main page and I couldn't resist. I've posted some 8mm footage here on youtube on my page; "usbrasilcafe." I was trying to figure out where near or on the flightline the plane is sitting? I'm in SoCal, and an hour from March AFB and their air museum. They've got a B-52 parked over there. Although big, I always remember it even bigger. I was TDY in '67 for 6 months.
I did a TDY at Anderson back in early 01. My squadron stripped,primed and repainted that bird, lots of salt corrosion. I wonder if that's our paint on it now or if it was repainted again.
Thanks for watching. They are quite impressive up close and personal. And still flying since the early 1950s and scheduled to continue in service for many years to come. I hope I last as long.
