Literally right in my back yard. My buddy and also a giant scale rc guy, Jeremy, is the first guy to fly the B-52 to Oshkosh. The article is pretty accurate. They smell like B.O., stale coffee, and piss.

B-52 crews with many hours before I was born and thousands of hours after. Thanks dad for the memories...... Your son is an old fart now .



Thanks for digging this up Mike. I'm a Navy man but the B-52 will ever remain a part of my life just as my father.
