Taken just a couple minutes apart.

If people really understood what kind of firepower (H models of B52s) can bring to bear...ah, SAC, the good old days...

Well done...

It depends on how the fuel load is distributed in the wing tanks, after a long flight they both will usually be off the ground. I've seen them with one on the ground while the other wing is almost straight level...lol!
