The volunteers looked to be having fun at Avalon East.

Not being a B52 expert, did they pivot the undercarriage for this landing do you think?

I believe the B52 has to touch down level, and that the gear 'crabs' as required.

That's correct, it crabs the undercarriage, however my question is does it actually do that in this video? You don't get many opportunities to see this kind of set-up in the world.

It is crabbed in this video. The pilot selects the desired angle before landing:

I will try to post a few photos. Not good quality, resized and only JPEG's. Haven't had time to edit the raw files.

I only saw the firebombers display on the Tuesday. The herc was going to do a display on Sunday but it was cancelled.
