    I promised my mother "Let's go see the real B52 together someday," but she died of illness a few years ago and we couldn't keep it. During the Vietnam War, my mother watched the B52s take off from the base every day. My mother had no discriminatory feelings towards the US military, and she boasted to me that "in Okinawa, it's normal for military planes to fly all over the place," and she accepted it as a part of daily life. So this year, if the B52s are parked at Yokota Air Base, I will definitely go see them with my mother's portrait.

      Rest In Peace, my condolences to you. 🙏 Yokota Air Base had a visit from a B52 earlier this year and another last year - so keep an eye on the skies and the trackers, and hopefully you'll get to see one soon with your mother's portrait. 🌹

      Thank you. I'm honored. I never commented because I wanted sympathy or anything like that, but my mother wasn't surprised to see the JASDF fighter planes at the JASDF air show, so she was interested in the huge US military transport planes C-17 and Osprey. Someday, like my mother, I'd like to see the real B52, even if it's far away, and report it to her.

    Great video, thanks for posting. I could watch these two types of aircraft for ages.
    It's not just their size or the jobs they do; but especially their length of service. They were flying when I was a kid [with the Cold War going on], and now that I'm 66yrs, they
    're STILL up to it, when called upon. I would also praise the generations of pilots and other crewmembers, in the case of the B52s. And let's not forget the ground crews, who keep them going. Well done all.
    I'd love to be able to drive over, and see them, whenever they visit the UK.

    When I was in the Air Force in 1971, I was assigned to the 100SRW(Strategic Reconnaissance Wing). Worked in the Radar/navigation shop. First plane I worked on was a U-2. We had both the old C models and R models. The C model had a very small cockpit. I was 5'10" and 155 pounds and barely fit. I was 19 sitting in the cockpit of the world's most well known plane. It was a great feeling.

    I wish my dad could have seen the U2 takeoff, though, knowing him he probably worked on the darn things as a mechanic. Did what he loved for over 40 years. I loved to go to air shows with him just to stand a ways back and put on his training "cap" for the kids looking at the planes even though the pilots were right there. They probably learned a few things too. Recently went to Sheppard in Wichita Falls (to see where I was born) and saw the maintenance statue outside the front gate. There was a tear, I'm not gonna lie. Thank you to all those guys (and gals of course) who kept, and continue to keep, our proud birds flying. I know who the REAL power behind the stick jockeys are and they're always working in afterburner.

    Went to fairford in 2003 to see the B-52's , as I was parking up , one came into land , right overhead, about 2 hours later , two took me off then waited all day nothing but a guy told me to hang on five minutes more , sure enough and Apache circled us watching , then flew low along the flight line of incoming aircraft , then circled a few times and just hovered to the side then sure enough a big light in the distance and it was an incoming B-52 , could almost touch it

    Spent a few weeks in 1972 anchored at the end of the runway at D.G. Spectacular Sight The Wingtips moving 12 feet from stationary to lift off speed with a full fuel and bomb load.

    Seeing that takeoff, u can see how the U2 is the oposite of the SR-71.
    The SR-71 was of course biblecally fast, but its climb rate was rather though, the Dragon Lady might only do 400mph, but itll do that straight up xD

      Watch again about 7 minutes in when the tiny Dragon Lady U2 takes off: ground crew check that wing support wheels are prepped to release, and you can see them drop as plane nears lift-off. Ground crew then race in to pick them up.

    When I was 12 years old, I wanted to watch the first time the fist B-52 landed, at Larson AFB in April 1952. It went straight in from the "wrong" direction, so we didn't see it until the end of its first test flight there. We were used to watching F--86s and C-124s from where we lived. Later that year, the worst ever crash happened there, a C-124 taking 87 guys home to Texas for Christmas. There was no TV set or station anywhere near us, so we didn't see any broadcast news of either event.
