Thanks for posting those AH. Great pictures. I was glad to see a KC135.I've heard about them. I would like to have seen a B-52 though. The C-130 was interesting. My husband flew from Japan to Korea in one of those. He said he actually got to see Fujiyama through the plane window with the red sun rising behind it. He said it was just as beautiful as you hear about.
The Department of Defense puts the ACC or Air Combat Command in charge of scheduling static and flying airplanes for Air Shows. It's quite difficult to get a B-52 either on the ground or for a flyover, as well as the B-2 and B-1. I was lucky enough at the Military Tattoo at Wright-Patterson AFB to see both the B-2 and B-52 fly over. Believe me had the B-52 been flying or on the ground, there would have been 100 pictures of just that
