Watched it, read the comments. Really nice to see the offspring of the crew comment on their recollections of their fathers.
Then went down the rabbit hole with the "Sky" fellow's C-5 history video. Spent time documenting that thing, including a "PR" shoot featuring this guy at Dover AFB, early '70's, to be shown to Congress as a film to ask for/justify more funding. He arrived to the plane dressed not in a "green bag" flight suit, rather in a sky blue one. That experience is a story in itself. Didn't see any of that footage in the C-5 video.
Never got a B-52 ride though. SAC were VERY protective in those days.

A good friend and former co-worker (for a short time my Boss's boss) at SAIC was a Nav on a B-52. Oh the stories he could tell.

In Lawton a couple of years ago we were treated to watching a B52 make a series a bombing runs on the west range of Ft. Sill. It was a pretty terrific show.
For you scooter guys, is that a Cushman the Maj. is riding?
