A B-52 pilot friend took me to the base last week so I could fly the B-52 simulator. Unbelievable number of switches and dials. He keeps telling me to flip a switch… but there’s 100 of them! Turning the yoke reminded me of driving before there was power steering.
I took off from Nellis and did a few low night time passes over the strip. I did some nap-of-the-earth flying over Nevada and Oahu before landing at Honolulu.
Alas, they wouldn’t let me fly the real buff. ☹️
