Rsquared Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Unbelievable. I've seen pics of B-17'a with their tail blown off and landing. Even seen pics of B-29's shot to hell and still making back. I've never even heard of a B-52 having this kind of catastrophic damage AND flying back and landing under it's own power. A tip of the hat to the captain and crew of that stratofortress, and Boeing. The B-52's have been around for a lot longer than most people even realize.
