I'm a bit unclear on one thing, was the 0.50 quartet replaced by the m61 on all the B52s and then, subsequently, removed from service in the early 90s? The gatling gun only appeared on the H model- other B-52 models continued to carry the 4 x .50 installation until their retirement (unless some G's stayed around long enough to have them removed), IIRC. The gun installation was finally removed due to the changed threat, which presumably would no longer be from enemy aircraft closing to within the range and field of fire of the removed gun. Mike
