![]() Aircraft from the 5th BW, 23rd BS, Minot AFB tooling around RAF Fairford. ![]() Some things to notice- Flaps have only two positions, up and deployed. It takes a full minute for the flaps to transition between the two positions. There are no ailerons on the B-52G and H models. Instead, spoilers on the tops of the wings control roll. Those spoilers also get set to about 60% deployed for landing. The landings you see in this vid are fairly perfect. The four large tires in the rear touch down about 1-2 seconds before the the four large tires in the front. There's an earlier vid in the series where one of the planes gets it wrong and touches down on the front tires first. ![]() ![]() Pogos are fairly dangerous. ![]() Notice the extreme attitude on final. ![]() ![]() Notice also, the position of the stabs/tail when the aircraft are on final. The stabs can pivot something like 20 degrees in total so they can act as trim tabs. ![]() The screak: Those eight engines produce a LOT of sound. ![]() ![]() |
