I guess it takes lot whole lot more to impress you. Me, I was impressed, but then I've seen it for real, too. The prototype, did a loop, BTW. I never saw any US strategic bomber do that.
Ah, right. It looked more like this to me -

Not to worry. There will be lots of impressive stuff happening over the next few months, of that I have no doubt.
I can remember one day in the early '80s at Kapiolani Park (near Diamondhead) when.......I saw one of those. I can still remember that camo paint scheme, as it flew (banked) really close. Or maybe it just appeared to be close? Yeah....that huge wing. It must have been, what impressed me the most. Whatever.
BTW.....there are a couple of videos (on YouTube) about the Brits bombing the Falklands with the last of those birds.
Aloha, Mark
A B-52 almost did a roll one time at Fairchild AFB. Started at too low and altitude. One wonders, based on the reputation of the pilot, if he hadn't rolled one (or more) at a greater altitude in the past.
No recorded b-52 roll anywhere. Probably not doable. No ailerons. The 94 crash was an uncontrolled descent due to overbank.

I liked it, my reply was a crude attempt at humor; Spock being a Vulcan and everything.
Gentlemen, gentlemen... Perhaps a pic of Mr. Spock exhibiting a bit more "surprise" would have been a better choice...???Vulcans do not lie - it was kewl
