Awesome manoever
Are any of these aircraft preserved & still flying?

I worked on the F-111A, it was called "loft bombing" with that aircraft. Used with ground concealment (mountains), it made delivery of smaller nukes survivable...Awesome maneuver with the B-47!!

damn that was cool.i really wish they would make an xbox game that utilized bombers like this, the b-52, and the b*58 hustler.

Talk about a Hobson's choice...do the LABS and maybe lose your wing, or not do it and get caught in the nuke blast.

A L.A.B.S. manuver with a B-52? I'd pay good money to see that. Lol.

great video....great!

I seem to recall reading that is was specifically noted that the maneuver DID NOT cause any cracks in the airframe.
One strong little sucker ain't it you old B-47?
