My son is active duty Staff Sargent, Heavy Maintenance Crew Chief, B-52. He has been all over the world with his planes, including a stint last year in the middle east. If you look on You Tube, there are videos from when the B-52s first got to Qutar. Its pretty impressive seeing them land and deploying the parachutes. He was telling me the usual was 120 degrees on the air field while they did their thing. That is hot working man. He was over in England for the big British air show (tatoo I think they call it). He was telling me that he had crowds around the B-52 that our country sent over the entire show. Not too bad a reputation for an old girl, lol. He is headed up to Minot, ND next week and new B-52 adventure (cold, lol).
