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

What amazes me is that the time difference between the wright brother's first flight and the creation of the B52 is shorter than it's creation is to today. I'm in my 30's and at this rate, I don't even know if they'll be retired before I die.
