    Gang,

    We had a topic on RC Airplanes a few months ago. I stumbled upon this massive B-52. It is an amazing model:

    The maiden flight

    Lot of money gone down the drain. It would seem to me though big isn't better. That thing was a behemoth, not a radio controlled airplane. :)

    Boy, my first thought was how much damage someone could do with one of those and some plastic explosive.

    My first thought was how much revenge I could get on certain people with a box of Tijuana M-80s and cherry bombs...

    When I was young my dad worked at Eastern Air Lines. We got to fly a lot because of that was one of the benefits of working there.

    The point is that I think that I flew on Eastern Air Lines commercial flights way back then where the plane was smaller than that one. :roll: :roll:
