Re: [MBZ] B-52 was: 07 R320CDI with 320259000meters
BTW, several years ago, at a local air show, I was kneeling down at the forward end of the open bomb bay doors of a B-17 and peering up into the bay when one of the crewmen walked up and asked, "What do you think?" I immediately said, "Small, very small." I immediately realized that I'd better be careful not to insult somebody else's air plane, and quickly went on to say, "I'm a B-52 guy, and comparatively, the bay is shockingly small, but they certainly did a fantastic job for us over Europe and wherever they were in service, and I thank God for them and the tough, brave souls who flew them."

Re: [MBZ] B-52 was: 07 R320CDI with 320259000meters
My Dad was a flight engineer in a B-29 based on Guam and later Tinian. It was outfitted as a photo reconnaissance plane, with a tail gunner and possibly no automated turrets (not sure about that.) They flew daytime sorties over Japan and the islands to gather intelligence and document the results of the previous night's bombing raids. He said it was noisy and frighteningly cold, and since they normally flew without escorts, the Japanese left them alone. This meant that the tail gunner, Gene Nelson, would be all the way in the tail of the plane, bored out of his mind. To combat the boredom, they played chess over the intercom No ordinance on these birds, just a huge pallet in the bomb bay with very, very large cameras.

Re: [MBZ] B-52 was: 07 R320CDI with 320259000meters
I had an uncle who flew in a Lanc during the war...rear gunner. The guy had lots of stories, some great, some not so great. One mission, the plane was pretty shot up, and the floor of the rear turret was shot out. As he tells it, he had his legs dangling out during the flight home. Flying over the water and looking down, he told me he kept thinking, "higher, higher!" I also have a friend who flies. He too can't get on a chair to change a light bulb, but no problems flying. Doesn't seem to be that uncommon amongst pilots. Ed 300E On 27 January 2012 14:29, Rich Thomas wrote: > I had a neighbor when I lived near Boston who flew B-17s to deliver the > goods in Europe.

Re: [MBZ] B-52 was: 07 R320CDI with 320259000meters
Much more typical, en route cruise for a B-52 is at 35 or 37 kft (easily go much higher); IAS 238 kts, MACH .77, 444 kts TAS; combat cruise at 250 kts IAS, mach .82, 470 kts TAS. Easily go significant faster. I've seldom known a B-52 to stay at 25 kft long.
