I found this channel by luck.1954 May turned 18. was accepted into an AF program called aviation cadet training program.3 months @Lackland AFB doing basic cadet training, learning how to become a "gentleman", then 11 months in training to become a navigator.Summer 1955 got my gold wings as a 2nd LT and assigned to B52 Squadron in Maine. Will never forget my first "for real" flight in one of these monsters. The sight of these monsters leaving as shown still gives me."shivers in me timbers".And we did carry nukes on training missions. During the Cuban missile crisis we carried a full load of nukes and were aloft for 92 hours circled over the North Atlantic and refueled.WE trained to get 12 52s off the field in 15 minutes or less, and that started when the claxon sounded in our alert shacks. At that time there would be ground crews in the cockpits with orders that when the claxons sounded they were to start the engines.The AC, capt, and 1st officer were first on board raced to the cockpit and took over from the ground crew and worked in tandem to get all eight engines going. There were times when the planes were moving before all engines were turning. I've always been proud that I flew on these magnificent machines, and the crews I served with were the best on this earth

[@admustvelchr3418]

Excellent ‼️🎯

[@rvnmedic1968]

I was stationed at Carswell AFB, FT Worth, when the cold war was officially ended. The alert crews were told to go home. They thought it was an exercise "trick" and refused to leave the alert facilities. The Wing Commander was notified and he went and told them in person to go home, they were off duty. They reluctantly left. LoL

[@trob0914]

Wow, times change, alerts in the 70s were a little different but still highly charged!

[@wrailfan]

Fantastic story! Thank you for your service & sacrifice.

[@ItsDon-i]

The way the B-52 climbs is hilarious in my opinion. Its like a horizontal vtol. Lol

[@hazmatt3250]

I was at the Barksdale AFB 8th Air Force museum one time, saw a BUFF coming in for a landing, heard pilot lay back on the throttle, guess he was coming in too fast cuz next thing I hear is him pouring all the fuel into the engines and I guess going to try again. Ugly yet beautiful aircraft.

[@ryanmoeller3308]

I'd just say beautiful.. :-)

[@ItsDon-i]

DarkStar189 I bet that was loud with those 8 turbo jet engines screaming

[@hazmatt3250]

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm extremely biased to this aircraft, my dad was a radar nav on'em for quite a while, and yeah Ryan they could be quite loud, we weren't at the end of the runway though so they didn't quite deafen us. Any other time, yes it was ear-piercingly loud.

[@ItsDon-i]

DarkStar189 Haha that's awesome!

[@rattmann36863]

Love to watch the 52 on take off. It never seems to nose up. It just lifts off, and climbs.

[@basimpsn]

Those big flaps generate so much lift...it doesn't need any AOA on those wings to leave the ground.

[@PistonAvatarGuy]

It's because they can't rotate because of their landing gear arrangement. They just have a high angle of incidence, which allows them to climb in a nose-down attitude, or while level.

[@pathfinder44ltd]

PAYLOAD BABY, PAYLOAD...!

[@pathfinder44ltd]

...OR, I should have said, "BOMBLOAD BABY, BOMBLOAD!"

[@Mullide1]

It's because the center of lift is forward of the center of gravity.

[@clinthymes5067]

That 52 looks like it’s arguing with gravity the whole way. And lifts up in spite of it. Lol.

[@f1mikeyboy]

The B-1 is still a awesome looking ship.

[@arnoldmayii3563]

Yes it is!

[@mark-wn5ek]

Reminds me of an F16 that OD on steroids

[@daz804]

Gorgeous aircraft.

[@TRANSFORMER2508]

Still my most favorite Bomber

[@robertstewart1262]

And it may be the loudest.

[@earlw9172]

b-1 takeoff was simply awesome truly enjoyed watching this video .

[@mikemac2888]

Glad the announcer was home this day.

[@AirGuitar]

haha i know right

[@taccillno5006]

Agreed

[@CitySlicker34]

The B-52 is so powerful,when it takes off, it doesn't lift off, the Earth starts falling

[@everyone5724]

That perfectly sync'd and steady bank the Blue Angels do after takeoff never ceases to pump me up. That is so freaking cool looking.

[@stevenvicino8687]

At 6:39 my wife and I got to fly in KC-135 refuel missions while I was stationed in Maine. She got to see a leap-frog refueling mission with 2 B-52s and I got to see a C-5 Galaxy. Even she was impressed. I scored points both flights.

[@reggierico]

Nice to see the great operators from Ft Campbell (still called TF 160?) special aviation regiment having some fun at Oshkosh. Worked with these guys a lot in the 1980's/90's. Some of the best pilots in the world!

[@georgiamule]

Thou shalt maintain thine airspeed, lest the earth rise up and smite thee. Great video.

[@Slickgoodlin]

1:45 The shot of the Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter cranking up was really cool....except for the distraction of those jets, whatever they were, taking off in the background.

[@davidlawrence3230]

That B-52 takeoff.. AWESOME!

[@Skittlezz45]

8:39 is sick! Almost zero rotation -- looks like it's just floating into the sky!

[@AirGuitar]

Holy crap that B-1 is thunderously loud and low! Sounds amazing on this. I need to hear it in person to get the full experience though lol

[@delten-eleven1910]

Yes, seeing and feeling a B-1 takeoff, it vibrates everything like a rocket launch.

[@timothylittlefield3129]

When the Bone takes off here in Bangor at night it shakes the hole city. Literally people call to complain that dishes are falling out of there cupboards. I have some videos watching them takeoff at night with all 4 afterburners lit. It’s the baddest thing I’ve seen

[@erikkiser6882]

It’s the loudest plane I’ve ever heard. Saw one at an air show in the early 90’s do a low pass and go into a steep, banking climb with burners lit. The whole world shook

[@larryandersen681]

You don't really hear it, you feel it. LOL!

[@hueyrosayaga]

@@larryandersen681 I learned that when I watched an airshow with an F-35, lol. I can’t imagine how loud these jets would be.

[@mannygarcia1810]

The BUFF and the BONE taking off at the end, awesome birds.

[@lorenzomoore6398]

Man that B-52 climb was so awesome.

[@SF-ku2hp]

B-1B is such a sexy plane saw in back in 04 or 05 EAA AirVenture when I went out in my friends dads Banana Beachcraft, Bonanzas to Oshkosh, but B-1B was amazing to watch. It kinda hurt your chest when it flew over low with its after burners on and made kids cry. That was a fun airshow hard to beat the beer wagon at night when you were 15 lol

[@KorayErkin]

0:29 That reverse thrust moment.. Lovely.

[@chrisbaker2903]

Reminds me of a takeoff show at Oxnard AFB before it was closed, We were sitting about half way down the field and all the planes were lifting off nearly in front of us and we could see the tops of their wings as they flew out of the pattern, all except for the F-104. We never did get to see the top of his wings till he came back down. He went out of the top of the pattern instead of the end. Damn that was cool. How I wish I could go back in time and record the airshows I saw in the 50's and 60's with a modern video camera. That KC-135 is so quiet with those new turbo fan engines. I have pictures of them taking off at Kadena AB, I was told with 165,000 lbs of fuel on each one, about 100 a day, for almost a year in 1972 and 73, rotating at about 9500 feet down an 11,500 foot runway. Those water burners were the loudest thing in creation this side of a bomb. 800 gallons into the exhausts to keep from melting the tailpipes. I watched some B-52s take off after a typhoon evac of Guam, at Kadena and a couple of them were very light and took off and climbed much quicker than this one. We could see the top of the plane as he climbed out.

[@michaelreither1826]

God! That B-52 sounds good!

[@admustvelchr3418]

DANM rite‼️

[@Hansblow12]

I didn't know you could hangout there Monday after the show to watch departures. Very cool!

[@Altenholz]

The B1 should still receive a design award even in 2021. Timeless elegance.

[@Alex4Lakewood]

Loved it. Thank you for posting.

[@2view23]

Oshkosh is the Air show I got to try and make it before they put me in the the ground.Thanks for video.

[@vascoribeiro69]

The B-1 is a badass

[@vanvan5709]

B52 is the coolest takeoff.

[@CoyoteOne]

B-52, Try to catch me Burnin' Dirty.

[@BKetch]

You would think they would have all cleaner engines by now.

[@geoh7777]

@@BKetch They are cleaner. The older ones were real smudge pots.

[@kentd4762]

Thank you for this video!

[@chunder27]

Love the Angels, even the takeoff after the event is co=ordinated, best display team I have ever seen and I am British!!

[@ovalwingnut]

Wonderful "Camrabatics".... THANK YOU

[@mrpaulgrimm6129]

The B 52 resembles a proud Eagle

[@vanvan5709]

I can watch this all day. 👍

[@davidlawrence3230]

Sweet.. the KC-135 and even showing the towbar angle! I always wanted to see that.

[@TheMilitarynut]

Right after the B-52 takes off "Like you actually work Riley!" BURN!!!! 🤣🤣

[@brett6492]

The chinook bothers me because all I see is a face on the back of it

[@Sweedster]

Brett now I can’t unsee it lol

[@davidjankowiak2813]

Big angry frog! lol!

[@geraldomarcicano]

My God what a thrill to see the Blue Angels take off.

[@justanotheraviator2357]

That 737 was my favorite part

[@ryanmoeller3308]

KC-135... My father has worked on those for 36yrs.. Good ol' bird!! :-)

[@williamhoward4384]

As the Blues left - I saw a Dakota parked down where That's all Brother was pushed into the trees in 2009.

[@JamesCK1104]

You make the best videos ....

[@pastorrich7436]

WOW! Simply, WOW!!!

[@4dshow]

4:13 a mini "Vulcan Howl"

[@DaylightDigital]

The B-52 is a strange/amazing airplane. There is such an agressive pitch-down moment generated by the large sweep and over-sized flaps that the rear wheels literally lift off before the front 8:34

[@pouya5321]

Thank you

[@davidhoffman1278]

The T-6 Texan II was from my old base Columbus AFB, Mississippi. 14th Flying Training Wing. We had the mighty T-37 Tweet in my day. Darn Navy helped kill the USAF plans for a turbofan powered primary trainer.

[@imtoooldforthisstuff]

I was fortunate to have lived near McGuire, Lackland and Travis AFB's while growing up. From the time I was 8 until my early 20's my 2nd hobby was planespotting, I even bought my first SLR camera in 1972 to make the hobby better and learned to develop my own film when I was 15 (1975) to make it more affordable. I live near KFAT now, before 9/11 we used to be able to park near the 29R/L runways ends and watch outgoing F-105's, F4's, and F-16's (then). The 144th TFW has F-15's now, and we can only watch from the west end of the airport but occasionally I'll go take pictures of the transient aircraft on the north side of the airport.

[@robertbarnett3779]

Outstanding

[@lyianx]

Glad the 52's are finally getting new engines.. Those old ones just look so dirty.

[@peterburi2727]

I just love the Stratobladder.

[@karlbraun9564]

Gotta love the beautiful BUFF, smoke and all.

[@drpork1360]

That full AB Bone take off was bad ass

[@garysmith2877]

An air show to itself. Thanks.

[@B1970T]

Awesome!

[@dilligafdude9434]

That MH-47 is a badass helo.

[@bigroy38]

The way the Texan 2 pulled up.Whoa Nelly!!

[@dd.greenefilms2598]

Very nice and thanks for sharing, maybe I will try to come to Oshkosh next year.

[@2view23]

B-52 take off angle is unique flat B-1 climb s up Thanks for video share.

[@mrhoffame]

Dam...you put "B" in front of the plane name = AWESOME!!!

[@pamelastewart8274]

Thank you for sharing such a cool video. The sky monsters are my favorite.

[@matthewchapman3507]

I was surprised to see the chinook was the MH-47G. It’s rare to see the Night Stalkers

[@timomomomo969]

It almost looks as though the B52s rear wheels come off the runway before the front wheels do! I like both but the B1 gets off the ground so much faster.

[@chrishunt1941]

awesome ending

[@LudeauvieK]

8:50 smoke...smoke engines... J75A?

[@SoggySoxSaga]

Pratt and Whitney TF-33

You know, some sub-titles would be nice - for us boys and girls who don't each plane and purpose

[@FS2K4Pilot]

8:20 "Everybody grab an engine and run forward!"

[@rickmaldoo4205]

Oooooo. That reverse thrust at the beginning

[@delten-eleven1910]

I love that moment you can tell the burners are lit 09:38

[@afterburner2869]

Can’t get enough of the Buff!

[@sol2wit781]

1:25 There goes the f-16 afterburner takeoff and unrestricted steep climb

[@davidhoffman1278]

Waiting with great anticipation for the "new" Rolls-Royce engines to be installed on the B-52Hs. They should significantly reduce visible exhaust and fuel consumption.

[@andreworiez8920]

The high bypass turbofans on a Boeing 707 (kc-135) still seems off to me...

[@RobbieRR]

2:29 is it just me, or does it look like #4 is on the grass for a few moments?

[@chrisbaker2903]

I think it was just the angle of the shot that made it appear that way.

[@FMA678]

Ese BOEING 737 sin identificación de línea es el que lleva al personal técnico al AEREA 51????

[@sissy20088]

Back in the 90's my husband was station at Robins AFB Warner Robins GA. While out shopping I noticed a big B-52 kept circling over the town. I asked if anyone knew what was going on. I was told the plane was missing one of the right front tires and the pilot was circling to burn off fuel.The plane was full of Air Force families. I went on base and was able to park in a lot close to the runway. I got out of the car and stood with others as we watched the pilot bring it down as if there was nothing wrong. The only thing that gave it away was the Wingtip outrigger wheel. Because of the missing tire the wing slightly dip causing the wingtip outrigger wheel to come off. Surprisingly the struts held keeping the wing from touching down but it did cause a long gouge on the runway along with smoke and sparks. As soon as it stoped they unrolled the emergency inflatable slide and I watched as the frighten but happy women and children slide down it. Watching that pilot bring that big plane in so beautifully was enough to tighten my chest and bring tears to my eyes.

[@swede5209]

You saved the best for last. B1-B. If you’ve ever heard one take off in person, then you’ll know what I mean. 👍

[@zzodr]

The B1 is off to chase the KC135 for a top-up.

[@larryandersen681]

The B1 is by far the loudest jet I've ever heard. My. God.

[@rubiconned]

Bone!

[@antaripbiswas3783]

What aircraft was the Turboprop Trainer?.. by the way...loved the B-1 and F-16 takeoffs!!

[@chuckcross3985]

That is an USAF trainer called the T-6C Texan II Turboprop Military Trainer. If you have enough money you can buy one without the AF paint scheme.

[@mark-wn5ek]

Hehe....I was wondering if it was in full AB when he nosed it up :)!

Beauuuuuuuutiful!!!!!!

[@AreeyaKKC]

ATC "yellow piper Caution wake turbulence for the next 30 minutes following B-1"

[@a.krueger6486]

I like when pilots ' wheelie' the airplane off the runway. Do drivers intentionally hold the back wheels on the deck? Perhaps a bit longer than necessary? Or maybe this is just camera angle. ???

[@AirshowStuffVideos]

They hold the nose up for a bit to help bleed off speed. On some aircraft it's actually more effective than the hitting the wheel brakes!

[@PeterHelfrichonDrums]

cool stuff
