I'm surprised these are still flying - must be a bit long in the tooth.

Uk Serials (http://www.ukserials.com/ ) web site list it as
XZ591 Sea King HAR3 f/f 12/02/1978, So its been about as long as some of the
Hawks at Valley !



That's a _youngster_. There's at least one B-52 at Barksdale AFB in Louisiana
which is currently being flown by the _grandson_ of its first pilot. He calls
it the 'family bomber', as his father flew it, too...
