Fun fact: The B-52 was introduced into service in 1955. And the USAF plans on retiring the B-52 by 2060. Meaning that by the time of the B-52s retirement, it will be a century old. A whole century of use would be like keeping a P-51 in service until 2044, crazy.
only the skeleton itself will remain unless some structural parts are replaced. Surely there will be new engines so new controls, maybe new computers, radars ?
@@radbilcz Yes, the B-52 will be upgraded to the B-52J variant, which will have new Rolls-Royce F-130 engines and a new AN/APG-82 Radar. With new hypersonic missiles being developed, the B-52 will likely just be a missile truck for the remainder of its time in service.

Just walked under a couple of variants here in AZ at the Pima Air museum. Always just in awe of their size! Amazing how we can create something like this that can sustain flight...!
A fighter jet did a loop over a B-52 in flight and on the guard channel says, "Can yo do that bomber?" The B-52 stays silent and then says, "Can you do that fighter?" The fighter pilot says, "You did nothing but fly level." The bomber replies, " I just shut down two engines..."
Cool but the strategic implication is that Russias strategic forces (nuclear) are well aware that these B-52 bombers carry nuclear tipped cruise missiles that can evaporate their families in an instant. At a moment in the world where US/NATO officers are planning the Ukrainian strikes into Russia, including against strategic assets - flying B-52 this close to Russia is an escalatory move that a smarter President like Kennedy would have avoided. But then he was killed by the CIA and here we are. Sweden escorting B-52s is just an example that our politicians have no clue what they are doing.

Безопасность от кого, клоун? 🤡
Не напомнишь, кто бомбил Югославию?
Только за 21 век амеры развязали 10(!!!) войн в мире!!!
И сейчас через своих прокси (долбанная Украина), воюют против России!
American B-52 pilots: flying to the Russians in the "Backyard".
Russian pilots of the MIG-31 high-altitude interceptor with R-37M long-range interceptor missiles: "'Hello there."

The B-52 is one of the coolest things ever made by humans. Just saying.
А Кольт 1911 до сих пор на вооружении экипажа)?
横田に飛来した時は管制官がパイロットに無線で「爆弾積んでないよね！？」と確認してたのを聞いてました。存在が相手国への脅威です。
Former B-52 aircraft commander here. Vietnam days. Glad to see the mission is still being accomplished.
The water bottle they are drinking in the battle station is "Fuente Primavera", spanish water, so... maybe they took off from Spain? Rota or Morón?
How do they NOT have Johnny Comes Marching Home playing on repeat during this mission?????
コックピットに液晶モニターが付いていても
中央のレバーとその数、そして隙間なく配置された計器類などから
その機体が何時からあるのか？
何もかもが時代を感じます
First flew in 1955
WOW!!!!! THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD, NOW THIS VIDEO IS NEET.
What's the main reason for USA bomber to fly in "Russia's backyard"?
tiny pee pee syndrome. It's a coping mechanism.
Deterrence.
@@roceye and what’s the main reason for Russia flying bombers in the USA’s back yard?
@@roceyeне смеши, два пуска С300 и минус два В52 сразу!
DETENTE
For what they are, they look pretty modern. They fly over all the time now in the UK. Happy to have the US as our ally.
Do huge bombers that could be carrying nuclear weapons go "in USA's backyard"?
Скоро зайдут. США ведет ужасную политику и ответит за это
Do us and Nato forces attack and overrun neighbouring countrys? Methinks not.
Russia does it quite frequently
You might want to look up international airspace
Russia flies patrols close to Alaska all the time. They also park their subs uncomfortably close to our shores these days
My Cmsgt dad was a tail gunner in the B-52 until he retired from the Air Force in 1973.

That is one busy cockpit and bombardier area. They still make work, when you compare them to today's modern bombers.
Also Americans: "Why do these Russian planes keep flying so close to us?!?!"
As a Mission Crew Commander Air Battle Manager on AWACS, we dont ask this question and we both fly international airspace, not in territorial airspace.
@@zedwpd Boohoo
@@zedwpd you guys fly right up to the boarder and complain when they come out to meet you.
Thank you for your service.
NOT A HANDHOLD!
Crew chief got tired of finding a broken glare shield on post-flight inspection...
Good to see grease pencils still in use. You can see it on the side windscreen during takeoff roll.
Wing Attack Plan R, , set CRM 114
Thank you for this awesome video! I've loved the B-52 forever, especially when it was matched up with X-15 during its test flight days in the '60s. I had to get that Revell model :)
