I hope the US military is teaching these people proper maintenance
I love the alien faces in the windshield!
Being skilled with the hammer is still a requirement for a technician in the 21st century! Good to see!
I am still amaze how the B-52 bomber still do its job. With some improvment it still a reliable aircraft. People who are working at this plane should be proud of dedication and work done for improvment. I tip my hat to them.
Great to see Rolls Royce fitting the new F-130 engines upgrading to the B-52, and extending the airframes life by another 30 years.
1:00 There's an alien in the pilot's seat!
As there should be.
I love it all. TY And continue to do such good jobs for America. Everyone of *YOU* thanks again.
This B-52 was put on a flat bed semi from Tuscon boneyard and taken all the way to Oklahoma.
A good idea. I hate to see planes rot, when they could be flying.
@@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710 This B-52 will probably not fly again, but its will help keep the ones that are still flying for many more years.

- Great sense of humour ! 🎉
I’m so proud of all the airmen involved in maintaining our iconic fleet! Excellent work all 👏👏👏🇺🇸
They are not airmen but government employees who do a majority of aircraft overhaul and mechanics
I just saw this bomber's artwork in a display at the US Air Force Museum in Dayton, OH.
This is the part of running a modern airforce that the public rarely see. How many man hours goes into keep this plane in the air.
EAA in Oshkosh one year had a B 52 B1 and B2 flying together pretty damn impressive.
Long live the buffitty-deuce!
Lots of former maintenance people critical of personnel on this job. This does not look like maintenance and more likely is part of work being done to develop the upgrade for B52. New engine program has been in work for quite some time along with other upgrades. You need a fuselage to work out those details along the way. When a modern B52 fly's with those upgrades these people will be proud.
Tinker usually performs depot level maintenance.
@@douglasemerson9017 yes, I was speaking to the wingless fuselage. That clearly is B52 CERP&RMP, not a maintenance project. Rest of the video cover maintenance and training.
Tuyệt Vòi lắm Nghe 🎉🎉❤❤
Very interesting video👍everything is amazing . 😎
So where was the strip down of the B-52?
What is cool about this video is that you're Hearing one in the background.
I think that rotary launch system is the coolest launching system for bombers that’s come down the pipeline in a long time! It’s my understanding that it can be used in several different airframes since it’s introduction and if this is the case then it truly is Bad Ass!
They arent interchangable between aircraft. The B-52 rotary system is larger than the B-1B bay, not certain about the B-2A bomber though. I would assume the Spirit has a smaller rotary than the B-1B, but I could be wrong.
It's not "Fellow"... but it does start with an F. 😅
With upgrades and proper maintenance, these could become the first "Century planes" of modern times... 🧐🤓😎
Seen several familiar BUFF Tail numbers that I haven't seen since 1995 when I retired.
Amazing they keep these flying, yet they replace fighters every couple of decades.
Fighters go through a lot more stress from G-forces thus weakening the airframes. the B-52's they are designed to last more than a 100 years.

Tinker AFB is involved with B-52 maintenance. It had Zeiss UPMC-550 and UPMC-850 capable of measuring any 3 axes to better than 2 microns accuracy and were used for incipient failure detection. E.g., if a 400 Hz generator had changed more than 30 microns from its last eccentricity measurements, it would be flagged to be remanufactured or scrapped.
Some of those jobs being done count as occupational therapy in some armed forces.
As a former QA guy I noticed that one person was wearing a watch and a ring! Makes me think what else was he doing wrong. Let's investigate.
Ralph, good eye! Even as a older former C-5 Mechanic I did not catch that. Rings are a special No No when working on anything mechanical for many reasons not the least of which is that it’s a quick way to loose a finger or worse!
Not good practise to wear jewelery during operational maintenance but it is not an operational airframe. It doesn't even have wings.
He had AirPods on and listening to “how to strip a b-52”
Looks like they are finally removing the old Hound Dog missile wiring.!
Like izxy said,its not like something made by mattel that you can just disassemble!🤣

Can you please keep the narrations or captions to 10 seconds instead of 5. I’m not a speed reader.
Do like me and hit the pause button. Video is already long at 15 minutes.
@@jimygerilius2377you can skip the last half which skips to paratroops to fighter jets to armored fighting vehicles.
Why are they called Hangers ? Isn't it just a big garage or building ?
If you are our enemy and see one of these flying overhead it's already too late..........................
I like this powerful bombardiers
What is the reason why those engines are so smokey on takeoff? Is it because they are more efficient and cleaner-burning at higher altitude?
These engines have been designed in the 1950ies....a lot of smoke was not an issue back then 😉
@@thomaskiefer9669 🤦🏻♂️ That was my first thought, but then I thought to myself: “There’s no way it is THAT simple!”
El avión del video funciona con combustible derivado de aceite quemado de las cocinas de la USAF. por eso lo desataron
Ya muchas partes de ese avión ni se fabrican como lo harán? Mira el video comparte y de like
B-52H engines are NOT JT3Ds, they are TF-33s and there is a difference.
Bahasa Inggris Kabeh, Ra ngerti aku.
and not a single bomber was stripped in the video, just a B52 taken apart and washed really good. Stripping an aircraft means the paint is being removed.
9:09 OMG is that a kid I see??
Horribly Complicated Machine!!
But the best mama ever
I flew in these babiesf - was put out to pasture in 1962
Cada día es diferente para las tropas pero esos si ,sus naves y equipos deben estar al dia y al cien para que respondan machin a la hora de chambear ,desde México un saludo a todas y todos estos elementos
One day suddenly in news..you will see a copy cat of B52 of China 😅😅😅..
Super cool and it's not Politixs.
What does it cost just wash a B-52H aircraft?
BUFF is only called "Fellow" by PR weinies. It be great when they get the B-52J upgrades online.

Much maintenance and painting we did'nt see here 😕
Dont show to rosian cryminals-spay
e😲
“Airman” as in a bunch of civilian contractors…. 😅
Well, for the technical and highly advanced stuff, yes. I wouldn’t think a 22-year-old kid who joined the military as an alternative to college would be qualified on those sorts of things
No. The pilot can not repair airplanes, only mechanics.

มันเป็นเครื่องบินบรรทุกน้ำตาลทรายหรอ
Ridiculous masks. Smh.
Wearing those stupid COVID masks!
Slightly less maintenance intensive than my vintage motocross bike.
They are not airmen but government employees
I volunteered for Korea to get away from that dammed acft. No regrets.
