@eyeball020 With regards to the chute question, yes. The "BUFF" (Big Ugly Fat F**ker) always uses the chute in landing. I've had the chute fail (not all that uncommon and event) and rather than a reassuring tug on the plane there is this sickening wallowing feel, VERY hot brakes and a LONG landing roll.
there's nothing stupid about it, it's just noisy, ugly, and lumbers around the sky like an anorexic kc 135. it's only redeeming quality is the fact the it is the only post WW2 bomber built before the vietnam era still flying today, with more stay power than a major league pitcher. we may have f22s and f35s and predator drones to replace our fighter, but when you need the bigger stuff, bring on the old 52.
MORON. That's spelled Capital M, Capital O, Capital R, Capital O, Capital N. Underline it and put it in boldface. Wear it on your hat and light it up at night. I flew this exact airplane and it's the best bomber that's ever been built. Period.

@eyeball020 Chute's deployed for all full-stop landings. Helps keep a little wear and tear off the brakes.

Is the chute deployed on all landings or for specific runways where the need more help slowing down?
