Wonder what the Crews of the XB52 in 1948 would say if you told them then the jet would be flying out of the UK in 2022, along with the 1950s/60s U2 & B52 crews.

Really is surreal, these are the same jets of the Kennedy administration/cuba times, but considering the XB52, and u2 development ...Eisenhower and even Truman Administration.
