But Dr. Strangelove wouldn't have nearly as good. Kinda hard to have the 'dramatic' multi-level scenes of flight deck and nav/radar nav throwing the multiple switches, fighting fires, etc of the B-52 vs the Vulcan's 'a**es to elbows' coziness.................

And was there a way for Slim Pickens to access the Vulcan bomb bay?
