@kingrex1002 Rolling Thunder is actually the title of the aerial bombing campaign employed by the U.S military during the conflict in Vietnam. Uncle Sam thought he could bomb Charlie into submission, didn't quite work out that way... Many planes were used during operation Rolling Thunder so it would be wrong to say it was a nickname given to the B-52.

@Cabbsboy Rolling Thunder is a REAl millitary nickname.

Saw something almost identical to this at Carlswell Air Force Base a few years ago...very impressive and cool at the same time. The funny thing was that they had about 200 yards of the Pyro-gas set up between the actual runway and the taxiway. When the B-52 flew over with the simulated drop and everything went off...they set the grass on fire from one side to the other. The show was put on hold while the fire crew displayed their readiness. No danger to anyone, but it was funny. Thanks for this.

Real munitions pose a flying shrapnel threat.

@buzzkillman 2 gallons of gas and a blasting cap it looks like...dont know of many airshows that allow the dropping of actual munitions so close to the public. Still, you have to admit, it was awesome
