great capture for a cheapo camera, "but not cheap way back when". I used to watch the B-52's doing approaches/takeoff/landing at Carswell AFB. enjoyed every minute of it

Service Station Attendant - I'm impressed. VERY cool shot, DW.

Impressive. And done at speed. An interesting point here - the B-52 wing gradually bending upwards towards the outer engine pair. That means weight!
Rare shot! Keep up the good work!

Great capture!

That's an awesome view from the tail end of the KC135! Washing the windshield might be a bit of a challenge, though... Great shot!
I was in the USAF myself; 1968 - 1972. Never had a view like this, though.

When the Boomer would pull away the windows would get sprayed with JP 4 jet fuel that should take care of any bugs or grime.I was a radar mechanic along for a ride.
