B-52 Takeoff And Landing - Cockpit View

[10231949]

landing at utapao was better,the good old days with b52d 657

[NYPDmos]

You realize how old the BUFF is when you see the yoke.

[minotmadman]

@NYPDmos all current models (B-52H statofortress) where manufactured in 1960-196, though the first flight was in 1952

[NYPDmos]

@minotmadman Yeah - still old - and the oldest one is 12 yrs older than me LOL, and just trying to stay clean, "Old Yokes" :o). I was stationed at Griffiss with the BUFF's from 83-84 (416 SPS) - Quick Start cartridges always got to me. Cold but not nearly as cold as Minot - I get the chills just thinking of that.

[S9297AircraftReviews]

Does the B52 have a heater? Looks liek they are wearing winter clothes in there!

[EDF1919]

@S9297AircraftReviews yes but if it is an old model than it probley would be for the best.

P.S. they have a bunk but it is right next to the skin and will suck the heat out of you body. so they always sleep on the floor

[minotmadman]

@S9297AircraftReviews yes they do. The bleed air from the engines are pumped into the cockpit

[TheZenRider1]

"Nice shot (landing), dude?" "Eh, it was alright..." How humble...;-) I expected the panels to be black. Guess this one's seen so much work it's faded...

[StvnBrkbck]

hi my friend, what do u think of my 737NG video? watch?v=foz9s_NDSNo

[EEN9B]

Do they still have a navigator beside the radar navigator down below?

[minotmadman]

@EEN9B yes they do

[JISINSANE3]

I love how them good old pratt and whitneys buzz

[alanbstard4]

the power levers & control wheel are ancient

[yhenry77]

@alanbstard4 Why do think they call them B-52's? The Stratofortress took its maiden flight in April 1952. The bomber production was between 1953-1962 with over 744 aircraft being built.

I was B-52 avionics bomb/nav/radar/computer technician from '76-'80 during the cold war; it's an old bird, but it still can complete it's mission.

[alanbstard4]

@yhenry77 I know how old they are. I said it for the sake of saying it. Lovely things

[009ijn]

excellent video

[oliver5966]

EXCELLENCE it can never be replaced!

[hintmint88]

Aren't they radium dials ? Those things are dangerous !

[russianspy52]

I cant wait to fly a piece of history

[CosmicSPC]

american gummies!

[djomercohen]

does this plane has another use other than air strike? like it can carry different types of cargo?

btw nice to know that they had television screens with these features back in the 60's

[MrSafetyToo1]

@djomercohen

Its primary purpose is deterrence. It helped prevent WWIII by being ready to deliver ordinance any time and any where on the earth's surface. It cannot carry cargo. The TV screens were not installed in the original airplanes in the '60's. The airplane has been updated regularly with the most current technology. I know cuz I used to fly them between 1970 and 1975.

[hartley81848184]

@MrSafetyToo1

The only cargo carried by this plane is DEATH.

[hartley81848184]

And there's no charge for delivery either, 24 hours a day.

Saddam Hussein got his shipments delivered on time, every time.

[badeyebill50]

@djomercohen It can carry conventional bombs JDAM and such or Nukes aint that enough???

[nenblom]

This is one AWESOME video!!

[dstoughton]

I was a B52G crew chief in 1987. I flew in this seat.... this was my view for many hours on end... if I was lucky enough to not be riding the honey bucket for 10-12 hours!! Thanks for posting this video, brings back memories... I can smell the inside of the aircraft in my mind while watching this. I used to sit in the pilot seat for hours fueling it and the rest of many nights inspecting it until the flight crew arrived in the bus for my briefing.... at 18 years old, I felt on top of the world

[adriano71780]

ESSE B-52 É O MESMO MODELO QUE LANÇOU A BOMBA ATÕMICA EM HIROSHIMA NO JAPÃO ????

[thetreeregimovies]

@adriano71780 Não, não, não, que era um Boeing B-29

[GOOEYJIZZ]

@adriano71780 no fue B-52!!! Fue el B-29!

[nenblom]

Those wings are amazing!!

[SNOOZE3091]

"Nice touchdown dude" "thanks man" "iiiit was ok" haha champions

[chevyvictor]

didnt sound the same. couldnt hear authentic engine thrust

[sankitoelkiton]

My heroe air plane, the best a jewel is a wonderfull mechanic marvel

for ever.

sankitoelkiton

[russianspy52]

*wipes tear* that plane is so beautiful 

[MinkeySimon]

I went into a B52 cockpit as a a child at RAF Upper Heyford in 1981 on a school trip to the base. Never forget it, awesome aircraft! We also saw the supposedly secret underground hospital too!

[budwiesner1234]

god i miss living on guam! awsome place for air heads like us!

[winterloggan]

how load are they on the inside?

[MrSafetyToo1]

@winterloggan Very loud. 95 to 100dBA on average. Ear plugs and ear muffs are strongly recommended for the entire flight. I am lucky I still have my hearing after 3000 flying hours in various models. MrSafetyToo..

[tubefluid]

@MrSafetyToo1 Thank you!

[JoshHartNow]

3:06 Sweet! a screen that is actually old fashioned!!!

[winsun96]

very smooth landing for a B-52 without GPWS...

[ThePlaneShow]

they should put all them engines on a cessna ! that would be cool :D

[matoy77]

@ThePlaneShow LMFAO. That would be cool. Wings sucked dry in less than 10 seconds. XD

[revco68]

If I could do it all over again I would have joined the Air-force.

[mrsmelzbad]

Question: Why did kamazi pilots wear helmets?

[bigj70634]

was the landing at barksdale?

[jzier2]

@bigj70634 Just saw the post but it landed back in Guam.

[SFConifer]

The only other B-52 cockpit I've been in had Major Kong at the controls

[scrfce123]

@SFConifer LOL. Nice Dr. Strangelove reference.

[NoLongerFooled]

Amazing what early 1950's technology can do, isn't it? *

* And don't go there with the "But they have newer engines & avionics" Big deal.

[b52bombnav]

The constant yoke movements are teh pilots making corrections before they are needed. The B-52 uses a spoiler system that has some delay to it do the the large size of the wing. Its not wasy to fly a buff!

[mechan9]

Wow I was under the impression the '52 received a glass pit upgrade. 

[suctionplease]

Fighter pilots make movies

Bomber pilots make history

[AirTrackerGAMES]

@suctionplease And occasionally, fighter pilots prevent bomber pilots from making history :)

[doggdoggy]

why so hard on the yoke?

[Trikunjs]

lmaoo.using thier fists to increase throttle ...thats siiick

[Wonkabar007]

Great sounding aircraft!

[slacker361]

yeah loose an engine ......... oh no the dreaded 7 engine approach

[matrix49A]

@slacker361 haha I land all the time with... ZERO engines

[hd5770Gamer]

@matrix49A so you fly a glider?

[matrix49A]

@hd5770Gamer No just a dangerous airline pilot...........

[gmboy559]

@matrix49A That's my best laugh of the day, right there. :)

[TheCozzie99]

Very nice video as always...thanks

[workforcetrust]

However, bombers are mostly used to bomb :-(

[lcf34]

@workforcetrust yep, that does not have to be forgotten. Thousands of children & women lost lives because of this machine, that's not a toy :-(

[b52bombnav]

@lcf34 Sure but at least we did not cut their heads off on TV for their family to watch!

[lcf34]

@b52bombnav Ah yeah don't get me wrong, I'm not saying bombers can be avoided. I'm French and US forces freed my country in 44.

[b52bombnav]

@workforcetrust No crap idiot.. its not a tractor! Unless you consider it a tractor reaping souls of enemies of teh USA!

[prorobo]

Wow this is insane. Wicked awesome video! I wish it showed the initial throttle up and roll out though. The B52 is still amazing.

[BLACKHAWK20121974]

EXCELENTES TOMAS DE LA CABINA.

[mikel1982]

I love how barren these military cockpits are. Exposed wiring and all.

[MarcusLeepapi]

Very cool..

[cruzdjpilot]

EXCELENTE VIDEO!!!

[lenoat702]

it looks like a piece of junk

[guitarruler1453]

in soviet russia throttles power you!

[guitarruler1453]

in soviet russia hands throttle you

[Gethsemaneful]

Taking off is always just so exciting, even though I've only observed and have never experienced - well, not in a cockpit, atleast.

[M1sterHamilton]

that is sooooo cool!

[express49]

@M1sterHamilton when I saw this line , I saw only one thing in my mind : Oprah's reaction to the Chicago's flashmob "I got a feeling" , hehe!

[express49]

@TheYozStudios Thanks for your answer , I figured it out too . anyway , great vid !

[fordroad]

This is priceless well done, may I ask how was this allowed from a security point of view????. Good job rate 5/5

[Hynee]

@fordroad It would be done by an official documentary crew, nothing is classified in this (nothing obvious anyway), so they'd just film it and release it.

[express49]

This is so fantastic 1 Ihave the vid in narrow aspect , I want to know if it's me or everyone else also . is it possible to convert the source in 16/9 ?

[TheYozStudios]

@express49 it's everyone else, this video is has been recorded in 480p with the dimensions of 640x480. Yes it is possible to convert this video to 16/9 but the video will be extremely blurry and very. very wide looking.

[Hynee]

@express49 @airboyd could change it by adding a tag, "yt:stretch=16:9" (no quotes). I think that's the correct aspect ratio.

[eloymanalooooo]

Woooohooo! I live in Guam! I got to Andersen Air Force Base every weekend and I always see the B-52 (:

[wowdude999]

@eloymanalooooo how is guam? Is it boring/exciting/meh/ i mean you're on an island, not much to do there right?

[eloymanalooooo]

@wowdude999 Its pretty fun since we're so close to each other and we're less than 200 miles apart and everyone pretty much hangs out at the mall or the beach other than that,its pretty boring unless you play video games

[budwiesner1234]

@eloymanalooooo i so miss watching the b52s on short final. i use to live in south fin when it was still up. that thing would litterally shake up the entire house.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@eloymanalooooo i am envious lol. ive a friend who lives there. i game with.

[BalticaBeer]

It's fucking rare

[winterstellar]

Awesome! 8 throttles! I've never seen the cockpit of a B-52 before!  : )

[guitarruler1453]

@winterstellar me neither and thats awesome!

[draoi99]

Super vid! I'm surprised at how much he was moving the yoke.

[msk7046]

@draoi99 --me, too. why so much yolk movement on such a seemingly nice weather day?

[JetMechMA]

@msk7046: why so much yolk movement on such a seemingly nice weather day?

JM: The B-52 is OLD technology. It uses steel control cables that have to reach out ALL the way out to the end of that long wing. There is naturally some slop in the rigging. Oh, I'm sure it is rigged properly, but those long wings and fuselage make for some play in the controls. You should see them during in-flight refueling...or in the low-level route bomb run. Their arms get tired. No kidding.

[musicjesus95]

im sow jealous of them

[Itchhhh]

GREAT Vid!  379th WAFB!!

[SaintDre7]

how cool

[johnybagaco1987]

thank you, great video

[1stcenturyproduction]

That's Awesome!
