| | | Posted by Kbasa ill have to say b-52s are cool planes, i also like the warthog
| The B-52 Stratofortress is probably the most successful bomber ever to fly. Consider that the original pilots' grandkids are probably flying this thing is a testament to its durability. The A-10 Thunderbolt II sucks my ass :o( (i am being sarcastic...) Reason being, a long time ago (well not that long ago), A-10's were operating out of Griffis AFB down near Rome NY. Anyways, we would see them alot in the Adirondacks. One of the things these guys loved to do was sneak up on people (No shit... there was a huge write up about in a late 80's/early 90's issu of Adirondack Life) and scare the shit out of them. You couldn't hear those turbofans coming up behind you. I remember me and a friend of mine out frogging on Sherman Lake in Crown Point in a canoe... i was loading my .22, not paying attention to anything around me. Will was checking out the bank. I thought I heard 'something'. I turned around and i was staring down the barrels of that 30mm gatling... (!!!) He was so low to us, the wash damn near threw us out of the canoe! I remember Will bringing his .30-.30 up, completely pissed something had snuck up on him... :oP i know, off topic... sorry. I do miss the planes flying out of Plattsburgh and Rome. All that we have left, as far as I know are the 16's out of Burlington VT. Samurai
