The tail gun. The B-52D's from my base shot down two MIG 21s during Operation Linebacker II. They were the first air to air kills by a tail gunner since the Korean War, and also the last two since then. And now there are no more tail gunners on any planes. I saw one of them when they returned and they had a big celebration for him for shooting down a MIG.

It's a big boy. I don't want to write no more stories about my times with them right now.

This is the oldest B-52 model and my personal favorite. The G and H models are ok but their tails are shaved down and they aren't painted black. Whenever I have to go to Ellsworth AFB I drive by this, just outside the Main Gate and it brings back memorys.
