When I was in Tech school we used to play in the training Buffs at lunch time. They are so big and clunky looking. When they taxi down the flightline, it looks like they couldn't manage anything. Until they get up there; then they're beautiful.
They're swiveling landing gear is pretty cool, although it does look unsettling when a plane on the ground isn't moving the same way its nose is pointing e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94AcSHpcZbI&t=39
I remember reading a story where some engineers calculated that the B-52 should not be able to fly.
Perhaps it's powered by bumblebees.
Tech school at what ATC base?
Lowry in Denver. It's not there any more.
Oh yeah, I remember. I was at Sheppard a couple of times. Was just trying to remember if any B52's were there. If not, most everything else sure was flying into that base.
