Yep. I grew up on some of the old SAC bases. He did a couple tours over Vietnam. Kinda interesting going to the SAC museum with him. Looking at a display on missions over Vietnam and he is pointing out people n the photos he knew.I worked with a retired Air Force colonel who piloted B-52s on nuke routes, and Rolling Thunder during the Viet Nam war.
Some things just work, and after 60-years in the air the B-52 and the C-130 are excellent examples.
