(4K) United States Air Force Boeing B-52 Stratofortress Startup, Takeoff and Flyby’s!! | London Airport
Presenting the Boeing B-52H Stratofortress from the United States Air Force (USAF). The B-52H Stratofortress is a long-range, heavy bomber designed by Boeing and used by the United States Air Force. Introduced in the 1960s, it has a massive wingspan of 185 feet and can carry a wide variety of weapons, including nuclear and conventional bombs. Powered by eight turbofan engines, the B-52H has a range of around 8,800 miles without refueling. It’s known for its endurance, versatility, and ability to deliver precision strikes, making it a crucial part of U.S. strategic deterrence for over six decades.
Fortunately, Airshow London-SkyDrive 2024 was able to have one present as part of its Static Display. As the show concluded over the weekend, us aviation enthusiasts were able to gather some information from the crew that they would be leaving on the following Tuesday morning. This made for an extra trip down to London for a phenomenal opportunity. 'SCOUT 9-8' received clearance to Barksdale Air Force Base that morning and started up on London's Air Cargo Facility Ramp. After about forty five minutes or so, they taxied over to RWY 15 for a backtrack to RWY 33 departure but surprisingly ended up taking RWY 15 for departure instead. After departure, the aircraft hung around for two passes, one 800ft overhead pass and one 200ft over the RWY with the landing gear extended.
After the second pass, the mighty BUFF climbed off to 11,000ft and picked up its flight route on course to Louisiana. What an incredible bird, farewell to the Godfather!
All the best and enjoy the video! 😎🤟
