Boeing B-52 Stratofortress - Death from above

[browniecup100]

imagine a B-52's full payload of cluster bombs.

[JonZam83]

The B-52 was originally designed to drop nukes. It's been here ever since the whole Russia and U.S. conflict. To have a plane here and in service that long means that this plane is powerful and much more useful than any other bomber.

[vetttech1999]

Im guessing that does not meet federal emission standards on takeoff ! Serious thrust going on there.

[CUSTOMER715]

B-52 inbound!!!!!!!

[zonda2003]

Definatly the most deadly with the amout of nuclear weapons/warheads it can carry. I love the B-52

[fatboyslinky]

Most dangerous bomber? Northrop B2 Spirit? Anyone heard of it?

[JVALKO1]

@fatboyslinky b2 is always fucking broking, its a waste of money....

[stupidnamewaster]

you got that from a care package

[rubbing2000]

The B-52 has proven it's worth, still in front line service and will be till 2040. That will be 85 years of continuous service from 1955 to 2040. I'd say the U.S. Air Force made a very wise investment back in 1952 when the B-52 B was ordered for service with the Strategic Air Command.

[rubbing2000]

The B-52 definitely proved it's worth in several conflicts, all of which it was not designed for initially. It's no wonder the B-52 is still serving in front line service and is scheduled to continue until about 2040. Doing the math, that would 85 years of continuous service from 1955 to 2040. We'll need to get busy and design similar aircraft to take it's place.

B52. AC 130, F22, AH64 APACHE, A10 WARTHOG!! RECENTLY ONE NIGHT AT HOME IN SOUTH ALABAMA WE HAD THE PLEASURE OF HAVING 4 F22S FROM EGLIN, AN AC130U, AND SEVERAL APACHES, BLACKHAWKS, AND HUEYS FLYING OVERHEAD. WHAT A RACKET AND WE LOVED IT! THE SOUND OF FREEDOM! MY HAT IS OFF TO ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO FLY THESE AWESOME MACHINES AND PROTECT OUR FREEDOM!

[FrozenMinnesotan]

The BUFF will stay in service until 2045. What a service record! You couldn't ask anymore out of an airframe. The B-52 is as bomber as bomber gets. It just emanates a sense of power.

[BIGBLOCK5022006]

B-52 Stratofortress. When you absolutely, positively got to fuck some shit up. Accept no substitutes.

[hlimkb]

they are AWESOME,

but got to use them in the right way,

remember indo china

[durchdiemitte]

AC130 is scarier

if a B-52 is attacking you it's already over xD

[shillyshallyz]

34 of those were shot down during the 1972 Christmas Bombing of Hanoi, North Vietnam, from Dec 18 till Dec 29, 1972. AP reported "at this rhythm, the B-52s will soon disappear from sight!" Kudos for the Vietnamese Air Defense, for after that episode it was over for any carpet bombing of civilian areas! ;-)

[1z1q]

@shillyshallyz There is no way in hell that 34 B-52's where shot down during the "lineBacker II/Christmas bombings" of '72.. Check your source dude..and the reason no more "carpet bombing of civillian areas" took place was the Vietnamese leadership decided to return to the negotiations table..MISSION ACCOMPLISHED !

[shillyshallyz]

@1z1q A lot more US planes than only 34 B-52s were shot down, and their crewmen added to the 600+ US POWs in the "Hanoi Hilton"!

Go here and read my detailed answers

watch?v=TSa8DpQrwNg

[1z1q]

@shillyshallyz Oh yes agreed, there was HUNDREDS of U.S. aircraft downed in Vietnam.. No doubt alot more than should have been due to Politicians running the show for the most part...but again there might have been 30 B-52's downed in the entire war, not the 34 in two weeks as you claimed..

[cd949604]

I see them fly around my school almost everyday

[kimmi110795]

why you call it death from above???AC130 is much scarier to have over your head

[cyberarmy007]

@kimmi110795

Are you sure about that? A Mark 84 "Hammer" bomb with 2,000 Ib from a B-52 above your head proves the opposite!

[JonZam83]

@cyberarmy007 And the B-52 were designed to drop nukes, so really, you wanna be on the side that has B-52's. AC-130 may be a dangerous plane, but a B-52 carries missiles and bombs. It's much more dangerous

[xJacurutux]

@kimmi110795

I'd call that a typical Mw2 Player statement.

[kimmi110795]

@xJacurutux yeah well it carpet bombs like an hell but i really dont want an AC130 over my head with 105 mm and 85 mm over my head

it halso has a gatling of some kind so i think it's like beast, so i would have called it daeth from above or angel of death because of it's angel flares

[canals22]

@kimmi110795 .. you'll never hear the 52' comming... one second you're there with your thumb up your fanny, then is judgement day...

[Hypercam2vids]

@kimmi110795 Too much cod there buddy.... It's misleading.

[wrxmike123]

@kimmi110795 Death is Death shit for brains,,,,Don't matter how it comes...

[Karargah]

Everything is for peace and humanity right? Let me laugh with my ass...

[jakeditz50]

@Karargah

go ahead. thats where your head is anyways

[kamikazeboy123]

we shouldn't be fighting against another country we should fight when aliens come who wanted war

[freak1945]

you are insane.

[windvaleblue]

Does the Term "Cluster _uck come to Mind?

I wonder where it originated...

[mrgeneralpinochet]

me am old vietcong...seeing this bring back many bad memories......

[1z1q]

ahhh that's some funny shit mrgeneralpinochet..

[peepeevagi]

The penultimate Jet bomber. Ancient in every form of the word, but too effective to put out of service. Came close to the F-14 fate >.>

It's speed, range, and abilities are easily matched by a number of other aircraft, but none other has such an outstanding combat record or fear factor than the good ol BUFF.

It went from a machine of no return in vietnam, to a hell raiser in iraq. And who knows what in the future.

[kjsh987]

good video the b52 old but still effective since vietnam and the cold war.you probably saw the movie dr strangelove.its very impresive see this beauty in action.congratulations

[T95BlackEagle]

B-52 is the most dangerous bomber aircraft of all time in the history!

[pablytuzz]

OH YEAH.

[justforever96]

Well, dangerous to it's aircrews anyway! I love the BUFF, but it wouldn't make it far against modern anti-air defenses, not without extra-heavy ECM defense and Wild Weasel escorts. There are more precise ways to drop a bomb, but if you need to take out a 1/2 mile piece of land, the B-52 is the plane! Actually, that's not true either. A B-1B can carry twice the bomb-load of the 52, and go faster while doing it. But the B-52 is still the cooler airplane, if ya ask me. I love how they sound.

[TheAwesomeBart]

@T95BlackEagle If you don't count the history of the future with it, YES IT DOES :D

[Ahamster1]

@T95BlackEagle actually the B-2 stealth bomber has the element of surprise, making it more deadly as such

[JonZam83]

@Ahamster1 Maybe, but the Stratofortress carries more death 

[Ahamster1]

@JonZam83 :P plus it's long history of bombing carries that fear-factor

[CamiloSanchez1979]

is a death carrier

[ICBMcraveson]

nice lol having a blast?

[powerfulsamoan]

i love cluster bombs

[CommiesGetNapalmed]

I want.

[jdubya57]

Damn, I sure miss seeing these BEASTS take off and land on a regular basis here at Carswell NAS-JRB.

[RCShadow]

Me too...I remember watching them when I was a kid from shore. As an adult, I'd park my boat at the end of the runway and lay back and watch them fly over and blow us around. Those were the days...

[ryanlim2002]

BOOM!

[RancidElf32]

that not fair ;)

[ironhardt]

Awesome job, cyber! Contains a lot of video that I personally have never seen before.
