Yes, Slim Pickens was the pilot of a B-52 in "Dr. Strangelove"
(or "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"),
I can't tell you off hand what model it was supposed to be.

Its a "Chameleon" BUFF. In one scene its a G, the next an H and the next
a
"Tall Tale".

It's been too long since I've seen it, what were the details that
determined the types?

"Stay on the bomb run boys, I'm gonna get those bomb doors open if it
harelips
everyone on Bear Creek"

Would that be the "I" model?? Or do we skip the "I" and go to "J" so no
one thinks it's a "T"?? ( Huh? )

At least it wasn't the Navy's B-52N.

"Tall Tale".


BUFDRVR

I think the whole movie was a "Tall Tale" even the tall tailed bird.

LOL...damn Tex, you're the only that pointed out my error, I'm a little
surprised.

Never mind, this never worked in 3rd grade.....

All I remember is it was a tall tail.

That's my impression, but I haven't seen it for a long time now
and it was at best a plastic model (was there a real take-off scene?)


Most of the "flying scenes" during the movie are a plastic model with the song;
"When Johhny Comes Marching Home" in the back ground, however in the beginning
there are actual scenes of BUFFs doing A/R. Pretty good footage at that.

Short tail with no engine cowling raps = G
Short tail with engine cowling raps = H
Tall Tail = B/C/D/E/F...I can't tell these apart externally.

Marron, I will let you in on a little secret your father committed

taking you on the flightline in a launch truck. He and his buddies

Everyone seems to think this, but it's not true. Parents can give
their minor children alcohol legally. Maybe not everywhere in the
US,
but in a fairly large part of it.

True, but only at home.

Nope. In most states, it's in "a non-public place". In some, it's
anywhere. In a few, it's only in a home, whose home not specified.
Granted, there are a couple of states where it's a relative's home,
but even that is more places than just "at home", implying the kid's
and parent's home.

It is legal for parents to give children wine in public places in
California, but it is seldom practiced outside of very pricey resturants.
I
was not only drinking on Chanute at 17, but also in town in Texas and
Illinois both. Most places will serve minors, if they are not too
squirreley.

It was my 21st birthday and 3 of us from USNTC went down to the
Mecca on sailor main in San Diego to celebrate. The waitress carded
us all and with one look at my Montana DL, broke into a rousing rendition
of "Happy Birthday." :-( (1961)

I always wondered if they were checking the boom limits or
something, and then finally the boomer got scared and did a
disconnect. "She was all over the bed."

Actually, it was designed to go with the music which was
"Try a Little Tenderness" while the tanker gave up some of its
"precious bodily fluids"...

I don't know what they retitled the AFR-207 series to, but I suggest you
review them and their base apendices.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And then he hired an infinite number of monkeys to write:

Correction

Make that base suplements.

CLASSIC!

As I told you Danny boy, you're deluding yourself if you think that
you're impressing anyone here with your superficial knowledge of
law: military OR civil.

Lemme give ya' a clue: when suggesting that folks review base
apendices[sic] and/or base suplements[sic] it might be a good
idea if you first learned how to spell the subjects that you're
oh-so-officiously "suggesting" everyone else to review. LMAO!

Of course not. A preemptive strike "wherever terrorists hide, or run,
or plan" (e.g: Afghanistan, Indonesia, Iraq, etc. etc...)


etc. etc.....

Just how many "preemptive" stikes did you have in mind? and how many
'innocent civilians' did you propose executing in the process?

And how would this have stopped the terrorists who were all legal
residents of the U.S. prior to 9/11?

Although bufdrvr answered your question, if you are interested in more
detail about B-52 models and service see the series of articles at:

http://home.att.net/~jbaugher2/b52.html where you will find that it is an
amazing aircraft.
