  • @jers59 Tell you what, search "operation skyshield" and see what hapend when NORAD invited the RAF to penetrate it's new billion dollar defence system, all B52's were intercepted, 1 out of 8 RAF Vulcans was intercepted by an F-101, the other 7 hit their targets and landed safely in Newfoundland. So yeah, your hunk of shit B52 is just great, way better than the Vulcan. LOOOOL

  • "The howl ... you know that Vulcan howl ... the whole airfield. Sounds like ... victory.

    Someday this proud era of British engineering ingenuity will end ... "

  • Brilliant, fantastic example of BRITISH design and engineering. Beautiful aircraft.

  • why are people comparing B-52s to Vulcan?

    wtf!

  • @bazman85 Sorry I guess you're too sick "

  • Amazingly short take-off roll. Cool airplane.

  • Awesome footage. Yes, only it's motherland would love it's looks. It proved itself as a deterant. Did its job. Leave the poor Vulcan alone, otherwise it it come over your house and bomb the crap out of you.

  • vulcans are shite

  • @bazman85 Just cause he unfairly insulted the Vulcan, a great aircraft that fell victim to politics, is no reason to go calling the B-52, another great aircraft, a "hunk of shit." B-52s are relatively cheap to operate and perfect for the way wars are fought today, and in the Cold War no aircraft was perfect for the strategic mission, hence why they found themselves replaced by damned missiles and submarines. Besides, the term "paper sack" is best description of any American air defense system.

  • nice vidoe but it was not its first flight
