One squadron (of 3) at Barksdale
puts up twice the amount of daily sorties as the whole 509th BW. You hit
Barksdale at the right time, you'll see more B-52s taking off, landing, in the
pattern or taxiing around than there are B-2s in existance.

Last time I was in Barksdale was 1980 or so...

Trying to get out after a fuel stop, but the weather went below mins for the
A-4. A C-118 (IIRC) landed through the fog and spewed an ORI team. I watched
from Base Ops as they scrambled to get half of SAC in the air at one time.
Impressive show!

Better news was that all the heat from the Buffs taking off raised the vis just
enough for T/O mins for the A-4. As soon as they stood down the alert, I was
outta there!
