I'm pretty sure it's the only military aircraft where pilots are serving aboard the same planes their grandfathers flew. Not the same type--the very same bird.Someone once told me about flying cross-country in a Cessna when he came across some B-52s flying a terrain-hugging mission--when they flew below him. He said birds that big aren't supposed to move that fast, and they sure aren't supposed to be between you and the ground!</blockquote>
