A B-52H from the 69th BS from Minot AFB aborted take off on Guam today and caught fire. All crew safely exited the aircraft. The plane looks to be a total loss.

Looks like AMARG will be getting a phone call to regenerate another B-52!

Story goes take off was aborted due to birds on the runway, pilots ran out of real estate and the rest is pictured above.

I know a mechanic who worked on it 10 mins before the aborted take off.
