B-52 Taxi And Takeoff (2012)

It's mine!

I worked on these old "H" models in Minot AFB ND back in the mid 60s. They were new then, painted white and silver with Hound Dog missles hanging off the pylons. The Cold War was on and the northern tier states had hundreds of these stationed there just in case Russia made a surprise attack on the U.S. The aircraft in this video (balls 3) was stationed at Minot, we had Balls 1,2, and 3....glad to see she's still flying.....

I flew a Cessna out of Shreveport's Downtown Airport once, and there were a few of these around in the sky. They have so much lift in those giant wings that they looked like they were rising up in the air like an elevator.

[DiamondPilotDan]

3:27 wow! look at all that tax payer's money flowing into the air :P

[menacetosociety84]

what a looooooooong ass groundroll even with this flaps setting!!!!

[zhorikchg]

3:03 Is it speed brake on left wing?

[badeyebill50]

@zhorikchg That would be the spoiler it also acts as an airbrake it is a primary flight control(Badeye Bill B52H CC from 78-95)

[chrizzler100]

Sixty years old on April 15th, and still kicking it.

[timelordteamspoofers]

Love this thing

[gdwriter]

My Dad spent most of his 28-year USAF career as a B-52 crew chief. Although stationed at Dyess AFB, TX, he did numerous TDYs in Guam during Vietnam, including the famous Linebacker II campaign in December, 1972. To this day, I have tremendous affection for the mighty Stratofortress.

[TheGhostPilot23]

The B-52 is a true symbol of U.S. air power

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

[pacoloco729]

[democat73]

[MonsterRage]

50 years ago and still flying. Let's see how long will fly the A380 è

[MyPilot747]

i dont like the design of the plane

[ga97leo]

love the B-52

[ajlocke2003]

The real "Big Stick". I wonder if another plane will ever be made that uses eight engines?

[aescobar32]

those flaps are HUGE

[deetjay1]

This was a common sight back when I was a kid in the fifties...Amarillo had a SAC base then, and the big bombers were my favs...No sound like the sound of freedom...

[kaitsho]

@AirCargoHeavy Got plenty of em'

[AirCargoHeavy]

Awesome machine! The B52 still strikes fear in the hearts of our enemies.

[0frets0and0picks]

When I was a kid, I lived near Grissom AFB and these would take off and land ALL day long. I would ride my bike and stand at the end of the runway fence. The sound (and smell) was intoxicating to a young, strapping 8 yr old boy! Once a jeep stopped and an MP came over to me. I was shaking in my shoes. He ask if I would like a tour of the base, and he drove me all over the base explaining and showing me all kinds of stuff. It was the coolest thing ever. Never happen these days.

[PabloIskobear]

@0frets0and0picks actually still happens but you have a sore bum afterwards

[undertake782]

@0frets0and0picks Those were the times! It is a shame what the world has come to now.

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

@0frets0and0picks How AWESOME that must have been.ROCK ON!!!!

[westlock]

@0frets0and0picks When did Grissom have B-52s? I thought they only had B-47s and B-58s.

[Zack20008]

@0frets0and0picks Your right those kind's of things don't happen anymore unfortunately.

[APV878]

@0frets0and0picks That is so cool the MP took you on a tour instead of being an authoritative jerk. That's the way to do it!

[0frets0and0picks]

@APV878 Yeah, it was great. I first thought they were gonna yell at me for trespassing or being on a government base or spying or something. They were so nice. I was actually past my curfew (when the street lights came on, I had be home) and my mother didn't believe me at first! But the MP gave me a few of squadron patches and she finally came around.

[kenster865]

@0frets0and0picks What a cool story. You are so right in that it likely wouldn't happen these days. Damn shame for young kids today.

[hh1n]

The beast lives on!

[sgtredbluered]

One of these flew over while I was out on the golf course on a July 4th 'fly-by" a few years back. Awesome scream from those eight engines. I cheered as it went overhead. Great feeling!

[rm688]

its sooo long and wide, like my _ _ _ _

[The1theoneandonly1]

:)

[sauucebauss]

flaaaaaaaaaaaaps!

[stevegauth30]

wow. didnt realize the size of that.just the one interior flap is biger than an entire wing on the little birds i fly.

[divisioneight]

Thanks for the images of these great birds still in action. Amazing that they're older than most of us, and still actively supporting our flag. Thanks to those who fly them and service them.

[Danielgst]

Souuunddddddddd!

[DEVASTATOR478]
