Great shots. The duralumin gauge on the B-52 outer skin must be ridiculously thin. Then again, the airframe must flex quite a bit.

Both ends. B-52 and B-2 at Marston Meysey end on departure, the B-1s on arrival at the Whelford end.

A decent amount of action by all the different heavy bomber types within the US inventory, considering.
