Thanks for those vids. The B-52 was what I was most interested in seeing. I used to live right under the flightpath of landing B-52s and KC-135s at Wurtsmith AFB in Michigan. (before the base closed in 1993) Brings back memories.

Didn't realise they had KC-135s there until I saw this thread. Would have loved to see them again too, as my dad was a Stratotanker Navigator in the 70s and 80s.

Nice pics! Pease sends KC-135s over us regularly, along with Bangor and Pittsburgh. I've seen their tankers in action from my deck, nice to see the base itself!

Edit - Just realized it was Pierce and not Pease.. Wee different location I think. I was wondering why there was so my Aussie stuff on the US East Coast smile
