Heavy Traffic at Tinker AFB: E-3 Sentry, B-52, B-1 & More!

[@66lwmorgan]

It's been a few years ago but when I drove a truck I was delivering to General Motors before they closed and all of a sudden a 747 with the space shuttle mounted on top was landing at Tinker AFB. Now that was a cool looking site to see.

[@SocietyRed-sg8ft]

I am retired USAF. This brings back memories. I was stationed at Minot AFB (5th BW). I saw those buffs everyday. I was in Desert Storm and the base I was at had the AWACS. I saw those everyday.

[@okienightstalker3145]

Shout out from Noble Ok, son in law was a E3 crew member. Never gets old seeing the swing wings and 52's come over the house.

[@jtwilliams8895]

Wow! Imagine living in the flight path of these amazing marvels of engineering! Especially as a kid, it would be epic, unforgettable

[@skylynx2000]

It’s amazing to see the 52s my dad worked on them during NAM!!

[@jamesblandin-rr3gk]

The sound of freedom 🇺🇸

[@timmotel5804]

Excellent! I love the sound of the B52 engines.

[@BlueRockerPR]

Me too, thanks for watching!

[@mp5kfisher241]

Those will be replaced soon with Rolls Royce engines with the B-52 upgrade.

[@mp5kfisher241]

The E-3 has the same engine, just 4 instead of 8.

[@georgemorgan6060]

My father worked at Tinker for many years. Fond memories of going to air shows there.

I just read a piece on Tinker AFB having two destructive tornados, only five days apart, back in 1948. So, I searched YT for more info, and a bunch of other dates came up too!! How many tornados have hit that same spot and why!! Just a few that popped up: 1999, 2009, 2013, 2015, 2023.

[@madczechoutdoors1088]

Because they don’t call this tornado alley for no reason

[@Orca19904]

I've lived in OKC for over 25 years, and the AWACS and tankers are a fairly common sight. We used to have a squadron of C-130's based here, but the BRAC program in the late 2000's put an end to that as they got reassigned elsewhere. I believe Tinker used to have B-52's based there during the Cold War and as such was a priority target for Soviet nuclear attack should WW3 break out.

[@Skyes9]

The last bastion for the TF33 engine it seems! Outstanding work!

[@BlueRockerPR]

Thank you Skyes!!

[@gusthesheltie154]

Great spot for video

[@MasonMathis]

OKC yes sir I got to see the sentry fly over frontier city at 9000 ft and it was breath taking

[@corydriver7634]

It was probably a little lower than 9000ft.

[@caleroby9483]

BEAUTIFUL captures BlueRock. Im from Newcastle.. Motorcycle and Bike around Draper a bunch. Take in the plane spotting. F15s come out frequently. ROOOOAR!😃

[@awesomexistence]

Yes, you get a regular air show at Draper.

[@elw000515]

Try working in a warehouse next to a B1 blast fence, and they do engine runs. It shakes the building and rattles the windows and your teeth and they mostly do it at night while on shift…..oh boy!🇺🇸

[@dothatwattentwat]

what "warehouse"? there's NO warehouse anywhere CLOSE to the B-1 "trim-pads"!...........try again............by the way.........I work in 2283, so i'll call you out, on your bullshit!

[@jtwilliams8895]

Most Air Force bases are usually pretty quiet after sunset. I can’t imagine them doing engine run up overnight

[@herbertfranks9122]

I use to live next to williams afb in arizona. The b-52 or the f-4 phantom i think

[@roldy64spotter]

Disfruté mucho ese video, tremendo video 💪🏽💪🏽.

[@BlueRockerPR]

Gracias Roldy!

[@caleroby9483]

Darn I40 traffic getting in da plane spotting way... South wind landings. I240 South of Tinker is lower, the shots are better N side of lake Draper. North wind landing approaches. Its a BUSY Logistics center!

[@pyrokreisgrevenbroich7486]

B52 is like two 707‘s

[@scubasleeve3497]

B1 is the loudest aircraft I've ever heard by far. Video does not do justice to how obnoxiously loud they are.

[@timmotel5804]

Love Um

[@dwjr5129]

I was at Texas Motor Speedway one year when a B-One did a flyover at full afterburner. It was so loud it almost made me nauseous.

[@timmotel5804]

@@dwjr5129 I Love That Sound.

[@michaelholden5131]

KC135 fully loaded taking off at former Carswell AFB mid summer afternoon 100+ degrees and they pour the water to those engines will make you give up drinking, at least till happy hour that afternoon.

[@Orca19904]

I remember one time they had one at an airshow and even with earplugs in I still had to cover my ears it was so loud. Not surprising since the thing uses 4 of the same engines that power the F-15 Eagle, complete with afterburners.

[@brucemerryman7365]

Stationed at Tinker from late ‘81 to mid 83

[@BlueRockerPR]

Thank you for your service!

[@raywhitehead730]

20 of these still flyable??

[@Manny7RM]

Cuando andabas por acá?

[@BlueRockerPR]

Saludos Manny! Eso fue el año pasado cuando andaba en Altus.

[@davidfromamerica1871]

Next visit..IRAN🇺🇸👍

[@MiJaHa]

Fly a mile to "Smoke" a camel?

[@rdmgwinn]

WOW!!! Imagine that Air Force aircraft flying around an Air Force base. Now that's a major news story! NOT!!!

[@MasonMathis]

they fly around allot, and I see the statotankers, the EB sentry, and B-52s fly over my house

[@It.is.SB2024]

Aha! So that’s where the US military is hiding the flying saucers

[@awesomexistence]

Yep, they ferry them all over piggyybacked on that big plane 😂

[@txkflier]

Nice to see my tax dollars at work..

[@Ottawa_Aviation]

lol,

[@damoncain5854]

The pilots have to maintain proficency in flying thier aircraft, and a simulator is no substitute the real thing.

[@TheRCAviator]

@@damoncain5854Yes, it’s way better than giving my tax dollars to illegal aliens..

[@radiojanker]

This channel doesn't show any aircraft data...

[@BlueRockerPR]

Unfortunately I don't have the time to add aircraft data to the videos. If you wish to know more about any particular aircraft in the video, feel free to ask in the comments section. Thanks for watching!
