George C Scott talking about getting a B52 really low
"frying chickens in the barn yard"

No ****, there I was ... is how these things start out.

No ****, there I was sitting in the hut, radar console hut, at MCAL
Bogue Field and we were having an exercise. Anyway, we had a B52 come
flying over at about 500 feet with it's bomb bay doors open. What a
sight to see, that big lumbering BUFF bomb bay doors open, eight engines
whining.


That was one noisy SOB. We had them flying over our house on Armed
Forces Day when they were putting in a show at Andrews. Normally they
did not operate out of there tho.


In 1964 when I was going to NCR school in Dayton, they scrambled a bunch of
B52. Probably about 8 and they were maybe 1000' high when they came over
Dayton. Very noisy. My first real experience with BUFF's was when I first
was stationed at Travis AFB. I was told to not go out past a white line
towards where the B52's were parked. They told me that the MP's out there
carried loaded weapons and were authorized to shoot people who were not
supposed to be there. Made sense as there were Nuke loaded ready bombers on
the line.
