I'd say that this one wont buff out.

Glad everyone got out OK.

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

One of three which deployed to the UK last June: at that time she was named 'Neanderthaul' [sic].

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.
