A little sun makes a huge difference on the day👍

[@maly2ts408]

We're these aircraft fitted with the RR engines

[@MilitaryAircraftVideos]

@@maly2ts408 not yet, none have been fitted, probably a couple of years away...

[@charmainattwood]

Will get to the RIAT hopefully next year to see these intriguing aircraft. Until then I have KZbin and a big thank you to you for posting this video 😊✈️❤️

[@MilitaryAircraftVideos]

No problem. It didn't fly this year at the RIAT show itself unfortunately but you could see one up close on the ground 👍

[@GlynMorton-rv1er]

Such a beautiful Jet ✈️…. So powerful, I took a few pictures while there on Sunday, pity not seen in the skies like RIAT Past…… Thanks to all those great American 🇺🇸 Pilots whom managed to help once more. See you again soon Boys ….

Was The B-52 Going to Farnborough Airshow?

[@MilitaryAircraftVideos]

The first B-52 did the F'boro flypast on the Friday and then they both went back to the US👍

What's the black smoke in the video?

[@lollol6812]

just the old engines

[@paul8161]

​@lollol6812 oh I see so I guess not as efficient as new engines I guess?

[@Swatmat]

its to do with water injection used on takeoff, its an older way of boosting power output without having an afterburner, the side effect is lots of black smoke

[@paul8161]

@@Swatmat many thanks. Interesting.

[@MilitaryAircraftVideos]

@@paul8161 new 'clean' Rolls Royce engines on contract but it looks like a while before they will be fitted. B-52s lifespan will be 100 years by the end of their service🤯

Wots she running on old chip fat oil ?

[@MilitaryAircraftVideos]

Aviation fuel at a guess.

[@jojoGarBerry]

Wait for the RR engines!

[@maly2ts408]

Burnt fuel
