@ToonandBBfan True ! Why carpet bomb these Afghans when very few of their caves have wall to wall carpet to begin with! What a waste!

@NARWHALSo101 In Vietnam the enemy were so fearful of a B52 strike they would colapse in fear at the very sound of the jet coming. I would bet the Afghan cowards would run back into their holes when they heard an air strike coming. That is why for ground troops this air support is so effective. Rendering your enemy unable or unwilling to fight is the ultimate objective. There is no better weapon than the fear of an air strike from a B52.

@R5H4D0W You're right. They run rich and emit soot at low altitudes because they run rich and the air is more dense. When they are at 50 - 55 thousand feet the air is so thin and the fuel burns so completely that they create water vapor which is why you see a white vapor trail. They don't spend too much time at low altitudes though so rest your environmental heart. They actually don't emit as much pollution as maybe 5 or 10 semis.

You can beat that bird. 50 years of service and is due to stay there for at least another 40. Rock on killer.
