I believe the problem with a stuck Pogo is that it makes for a very tricky landing and possible damage to the aircraft if it is not climbing away when the pogo detaches. There is a set protocol for a stuck pogo, usually a circuit over an uninhabited area as these things are quite heavy and could do ...

Re: B47
A couple of B-47 shots at Fairford from a local Facebook page, supposedly taken in September 1962. The top one already has the '0-' (zero-dash) before the rest of the serial indicating 'over 10 years old' Since it's a 1953 serial, that suggests it was taken after 1963? Their 1952 FY serials. I thou...

Re: RC-135 info

I wouldn't think they would need a new hangar giving the old KC-135 ones are still there. New RCs hangar being built down by ...

Could have been. I didn't see it, just heard it so maybe it seemed low as it was quite loud!
