It is a new B-52, so you didn't see what you thought.

Wrong. It was one of the older B-52s. Note the tall tale,
indicating
that it is not the new H- model that NASA recently converted.

You are correct. My friends at Dryden had assured me that the H
would
be
flying the payload and I am wrong.

As per . . .

Extremely UNusual on the other hand........for him to acknowledge
it.

Yeah, but notice he blamed it on someone else and tried to impress
with
his alleged inside contacts. Par for the course for Splappy.

I have been around enough B-52s to recognize the tall tail, so I can't
blame
my mistake on someone else.

Yes, John. We pretty much associate you with the Tall Tail. If you know
what I mean.

Since the short tail B-52 has no ailerons and uses spoilers in their place,
I would have thought you would associate me with the "H". After all, it is
the airplane that puts the lie to Mazor's clueless troll, no matter how cute
the nickname is.
