Can't seem to find a way to embed them here on their own but a very neat collection of old military aviation videos. Highly recommend

Used to have B-47s at Hunter. Our previous occupants allowed us to have huge hanger space and an 11,000 ft long runway. Of course they left something in Wassau Sound before they cleared out.

Great video, with the wonderful 1950s voice of Reed Hadley. Thanks for posting it.

A must read for B-47 enthusiasts is Boeing B-47-Trues Stories of the Cold War in the air.

Amazing how many military aircraft crashed during the fiftys and sixtys, etc. Lots of B47s and 52s! Many to weather but many simp,y blew up or came apart in the air. Some also lost colliding with tankers.

And a bunch to pilot error.

Yes! Many on approach.
