WW III is over, the year is 2042, life still exists as a lone hiker comes across an old B-52 at an old abandoned air base some where near "Zone 55" in New Mexico. According to flight records, this B-52, #528 was the last to drop its nuclear bombs north of Seoul. It's disovery is the 1st to be found of scores of B-52's lost during this war. It will be recovered and restored and sent to the U.S. Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. We assumed that the crew survived, no evidence suggested otherwise.

Probably also the C-130.
At one point in the concept stage, the b-52 had a scratch up as a turboprop.
At least the bear serves more purposes than just as a bomber.
I guess the P-3 will also be in that bucket.
no greater test of an airframe than sub hunter.
Lots and lots of hours at low altitude.
Saw that you were at EB, we sent some equipment out there.
Those subs are engineering marvel. I am wanting to do a submarine artwork piece. Lots of good stories of "cat and mouse" stories with the Russian subs and ours under the vast oceans.
It's one thing to do that for a while, but to maintain it watch after watch is impressive.
next month will be a the mine show. The Cat display there is better than I"ve seen of any company at any trade show.
These men all have common factors in their personality, they are very confident but with no bravado. I could write a book about their stories but to them they were "just doing their job". There is almost a calmness about these guys. The bomber pilots all said they wanted to be fighter pilots, just an interesting note.
I agree, all our serviceman past and present are the best.

Thank you for sharing this.
I was in high school during the cuban crisis and it was scary. It was like a high stake poker game between Kennedy and Kruschehev. I also worked on the Trident submarines and learned that this world is very fragile.
