I know we kept recon early warning flights airborne for much of the Cold
War, but I didn't know we kept bombers in the air.


We kept armed B-52s up at all times through at least 1980. There's an H-bomb
at the bottom of the ocean off the coast of Spain and another one in the Gulf
near Alabama. I don't remember why they were jettisoned. Prior to the buffs,
we kept B-36s up and had F-100s carrying nukes out of Turkish bases.
