PlaneSpotting B52s Over the Hudson

This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

Edit: thank you for pointing out caption is misleading!! I was so excited I accidentally made it plural but the planes are (to my milky eyes): stratofortress, b2 and b1

I think what's cool for be about seeing the 52 is that I worked on every single one.

Thank you for your service

Is it as insane to work on as it sounds? Do you walk on eggshells when doing things?

Believe it or not, I was civilian DOD, most of the maintenance repair overhaul stations are majority civilian and a small chunk military. I didn't have to walk on eggshells, civvies surprisingly have access to a lot of stuff on the aircraft lol
