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.

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

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.....

@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.

@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!

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.
