That is a bad bitch. I actually volunteered to go back in last year to fly the Apache because they were hurtin for pilots. But I missed the age cutoff by 6 months. THAT would have been awesome.

Those things must be a nightmare if they aren't on your side :rofl2:

Cant they take a target out up to 5miles away?

Multiple targets. Yeah, I would have loved too. Oh well.

Who wants to give me flying lessons?

If you were closer, I still have my instructors license.

Hey maybe it is too late to rejoin the Army to fly...but its never too late to buy one!

Yeah, I wish. Helicopters are too rich for my blood. But I am looking at a DA-42 Twinstar. It is a pretty fvckin cool airplane.

I'm not sure if they had tail during Vietnam. Missiles kinda made them obsolete.

Air-to-air victoriesDuring the Vietnam War, B-52D tail gunners were credited with shooting down two MiG-21 "Fishbeds". On 18 December 1972, tail gunner SSgt Samuel O. Turner's B-52 had just completed a bomb run for Operation Linebacker II and was turning away when a North Vietnamese Air Force MiG-21 approached. The MiG and the B-52 locked onto one another. When the fighter drew within range, Turner fired his quad (four guns on one mounting) .50 caliber machine guns. The MiG exploded aft of the bomber, a victory confirmed by MSG Lewis E. Le Blance, the tail gunner in a nearby Stratofortress. Turner received a Silver Star for his actions. His B-52, tail number 55-0676, is preserved on display with air-to-air kill markings at Fairchild AFB in Spokane, Washington.
On 24 December 1972, during the same bombing campaign, the B-52 Diamond Lil was headed to bomb the Thái Nguyên railroad yards when tail gunner A1C Albert E. Moore spotted a fast-approaching MiG-21. Moore opened fire with his quad fifties at 4,000 yards (3,700 m), and kept shooting until the fighter disappeared from his scope. TSG Clarence W. Chute, a tail gunner aboard another Stratofortress, watched the MiG catch fire and fall away. The Diamond Lil is preserved on display at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado. Moore was the last recorded bomber gunner to shoot down an enemy aircraft with machine guns in aerial combat. These victories make the B-52 the largest aircraft to be credited with air-to-air kills
