I left Loring in 1959 and some of those B-52s were popping rivets
then........ then they used them in the carpet bombing missions in 'Nam.
It's a miracle they were still flying in 1972.

Only difference was that in 72 they replaced the B-52's with FB-111A's like we had at Plattsburgh NY and Pease NH - KC-135's were still there of course.

In the late 50's I was at Loring AFB, Me. in the 42nd Bomb Wing, the first all jet bomb wing in the Air Force. A squadron of B-52's and a squadron of KC-135's.......... yep, they are big and they are noisey.
