"However, I can assure you that the Strategic Air Command DID indeed include up to 90 degree banked turns in the contact position as part of the syllabus for the B-52 and KC-135 Combat Flight Instructor Course (instructor upgrade course) at Castle AFB, California and Carswell AFB, Texas."
What on earth for? And what the heck is a so-called
'Combat' Flight Instructor?
Sounds suspiciously like spurious elitism which will ultimately lead to a fatal accident.
As happened at Fairchild AFB in 1994 when a crew flew a B-52 in a 90 deg turn at low level. All on board were killed.....
