And they crashed it, total destruction, and Brit gummint
won't authorize them to build a replacement.

Actually, Rich, I was an EWO, Crew E-55, 9 Bomb Sq,
7 Bomb Wg (H) at Carswell AFB, TX and also a few
months at Anderson AFB, Guam.

OK, gang....my good friend, Andy Howard, WA4KCY, sent me this video URL. It 
is an actual flying model of a B-52 built by some Blokes in the UK. 22 ft 
wingspan, takes 8 people to fly it, and uses 8 real turbofan jet engines 
(costing about $1500/ea).

memories!!
