Flying The Worlds Most Feared Nuclear Bomber | THE B-52

The B-52 is one of the most iconic and intimidating aircraft ever built. It’s been flying for over 70 years, has the capability to deliver nuclear weapons anywhere in the world, and it’s still a critical part of the U.S. Air Force’s mission today.

In this documentary, I traveled to Barksdale Air Force Base to get an exclusive look inside the world of the B-52 Stratofortress. From walking through the cockpit and weapons bay to flying on a simulated bomb run, I got as close as you can get to understanding what this jet is truly capable of.
