Tail

I have a special regard for landing gear.

Standing inside the beast. 

Riveting.

Where they hold the bombs.

More engines.

Guess they don't need a water hose.

Big wheels.  Foot is in there for size reference.

Wheels for the wings.

This is the guy who took my picture.  He also took six pictures of himself.  I only included one for reference.

I'm guessing the numbers are the order you are supposed to screw them in?

We took a tour of a B-52 at Anderson AFB.  The plane was skinnier than I thought.  It is all mechanical on the inside, not empty.  All the crew sit near the front.  They were all built in the 50's and 60's.  But they still fly it about twice a week.  They can fly for many, many hours with enough fuel.  I don't remember much more.  They didn't really give too much information.  But it was a nice morning.
