Amazing airmanship in a Stratofortress.

Wow! Greg, that brings back alot of memories of USAF tech school in 1966 when we watched that film, then we went out to the training B-52 and looked at the tail. One impressive bird, those B-52's. After all the training on 52's I ended up on C 141's. Still a SAC man in my heart.
In 1965 my family and I were returning from a vacation in western Nebraska. I had just gotten my learners permit so my dad let me drive the family wagon down a long stretch of US Highway 20. When we passed a train parked on a siding marked in USAF colors my dad remarked that it was a "Target Train". I thought that was cool but what happened next was even cooler. I looked up ahead and what did i see but a B-52 mnaking a low level run on the "target. Our old 1958 Chevy wagon shook when the plane passed overhead. I was one very impressed young man. Still love to see the Buff in flight or static display.
