They are joining the 5th Bomber Wing (B-52) from Minot, North Dakota, home of the frozen chosen, headed to Kuwait.

[@mrpaul5726]

Hard to believe that these B-52H planes landing are over 60 years old. The Air Force currently expects to operate B-52s through 2050. The B-52A first flew in 1954, and the B model entered service in 1955. A total of 744 B-52s were built, with the last, a B-52H, delivered in October 1962. The first of 102 B-52H's was delivered to Strategic Air Command in May 1961.The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bombers are expected to remain in service until at least 2050, and potentially until around 2060. The B-52s are currently being modernized with upgrades and a new engine overhaul.

[@bruceday6799]

The last B-52 rolled off the line in Oct. 1962.

[@almartin115]

you have blown my mind, dunno how i ended up watching this video ive zero aviation knowledge. But to learn from you that these very aircraft are over 60yrs old is astonishing!!!

[@averteddisasterbarely2339]

When an airplane is so big that it needs a parachute to help it slow down !

[@mikeneely6190]

engines are old, no reverse thrusters. so the parachute is the only way to slow it down

[@john07973]

I lived near Fairford in the 1980s used to love seeing the muscle flying in and out 🇺🇲

[@bossco2001]

They used to be based out of March AFB here in Southern California. Dad use to drive us to the fields (now housing tracks) and watch them land and take off. So impressive. Best thing Boeing ever made.

[@albertperks3476]

I remember in 1977 they came to RAF Marham in the UK. I was a cub scout and because our fathers were all RAF personnel we were invited to have a tour. I remember going inside, big bomber but tiny cockpit (even when you're 9). RAF planes were the same (I've been inside the Vulcan and Victor). I think it was an era of a smaller pilot. Impressive aircraft, amazing they still fly and I love that articulated under carriage - what a genius piece of thinking.

[@lenturtle7954]

They used to fly so low over us in the 60s that thelooked like they were going to hit our barn im guessing they were headed for cold lake. They are crazy huge and beautiful

[@fraserhardmetal7143]

[@ronaldsutton7262]

[@vernongoodey5096]

Ted Coningsby didn’t say it was an emergency landing. I’m sure Fairford is the ONLY runway in Europe that can facilitate these B52s so they can’t have been diverted from another landing site. Does make you wonder why the RAF grounded its V Bombers when a refit could have kept them flying like the US has done and even upgraded to Rolls Royce engines!

I'm not an expert, I DO know my military planes though and from seeing that "emergency landing" my guess would be a fuel issue possibly because of the way the plane was leaning, maybe they couldn't balance the fuel correctly and there was more fuel in the one wing?
