I actually can't still get used to the modern stuff, it looks more like science fiction to me, - something cool, but a bit not real. B-52s are more substantial, I'd say :laugh: - on close-up photos it looks like an enormous piece of metal.There was a rotary launcher for the B52 but it took up the entire bomb bay and since the mission back then was purely nuke, it defeated the purpose. Remember that the ALCM was designed with the B1 in mind.
I'm pretty good with USAF from about 30 years ago (zonk!) but not the modern stuff

Ah yes, there are many variations of the theme! Saint Exupery's books are exemplary for me in that case.I actually can't still get used to the modern stuff, it looks more like science fiction to me, - something cool, but a bit not real.

Drone pilots are sitting in front of monitors, that should be quite a different feeling heh

Speaking of drones, I went to wikipedia page of Grand Forks, the latest chapter says - RQ-4 Global Hawks are there, huh. And on Google Earth the place looks pretty deserted, there is not a single airplane anywhere, looks as if it is shut down - ramps, taxiways, all are empty.
