I got to watch this in a sweeper. I was sweeping this runway one day and tower ordered me off IMMEDIATELY. So I pulled off onto the grass across from the tower and watched the pilot perform a touch and go. Got back on the runway and finished sweeping. Was pretty cool to get to see it in person not more than a football field away!
Now that's ingenuity. Making a big momma like that haul ass down a runway fast enough to take to the skies. The feeling of such sheer unstoppable mass coming like that towards you evokes awe.
I still love the Heavies and was the first A/C I worked on in the Air Force, B-52Ds 7th FMS @ Carswell AFB TX. I also worked B-52Gs in the frozen north @ Loring AFB, 42nd FMS (I hate the cold) and @ Seymour Johnson AFB NC, 68th FMS. I will always believe that SAC was the best most professional Command the AF ever had! I still hang my Master Tech patch with pride in my shop. Now working the Lawn Dart (F-16) with AZANG. Gen LeMay probably cursed the AF from his grave when they formed ACC.
@EIBBOR2654 I agree my friend. They really should have kept SAC around. SAC was arguably the most important branch of any service in terms of ensuring national security.
@funthing1991 yes it does you can see after about 0:14 that the rear wheels are up while the ones in the front are still on the runway. Supposedly the B-52 has a dropped nose attitude during take-off to improve lift.

Amazing, I remember being in a campsite on the first day of the RIAT air show and a B-52 flew right over me and my friends. a day ill never forget, its was brilliant!
