"BUFDRVR" wrote in message ... 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? |

BUFDRVR "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".

LOL...damn Tex, you're the only that pointed out my error, I'm a little surprised. tail tail tail 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. BUFDRVR "Stay on the bomb run boys, I'm gonna get those bomb doors open if it harelips everyone on Bear Creek" |

It's been too long since I've seen it, what were the details that
determined the types? 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. BUFDRVR "Stay on the bomb run boys, I'm gonna get those bomb doors open if it harelips everyone on Bear Creek" |

He and his buddies committed a crime by giving you beer as a minor. 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"... |

On where - Florida where they were taking pilot training? 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? Dave |

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.
