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

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...

Some KC-135s are even older than the B-52s they nurse.
