And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That beauty is always getting updated and booster shots. About the only thing they've never had to replace is the Chem Trail switch. (Just kidding, just kidding.)
Does not show the actual differences in the B-52 from 1955 to 2025. They should have used a picture of a B-52B which was flying in 1955. Had turbojet engines (smoother cowling) instead of turbofans (gap in cowling), no chin bump, and guns pointing out the back. Still, a great plane, made greater during the advancements in the production run and especially the upgrades.
Yeah, B-52B was a long time ago. The remaining ones in 2025 are all B-52H, built 1961 to 1962, before I was born. The H models are scheduled to get new avionics and engines and will be re-coded as B-52J.
The B-52 is one of the very few aircraft that the federal government has not either screwed up or replaced with a POS.
ReplyDeleteOf course the B1B, the B2 and now the B21 are part of our fleet.

ReplyDeleteThat's alright, all the newer boeing offerings come standard with these switches.

ReplyDeleteAnd the B-52B had a much taller vertical stabilizer.
