  2. A friend had a 46 Cub, clip-winged, and used to take me up. I remember one time flying over the former Bomarc Missile Base in Raco, MI at about 1500-2000 ft, looking down and seeing a B-52 passing us while he was at just above treetop level for some reason. He came up behind us and we were of course unaware he was there until he went by. No camera to capture it unfortunately. That would have been in the early to mid-70s, when there were B52s and F106s at nearby Kincheloe AFB and at slightly more distant K I Sawyer AFB near Marquette.
