The music sucked, but I liked the video !

^totaly agree with you on music selection

Good things come in 3's-- "B52", "POD", and "USA, USA, USA"

^don't get me wrong - I downvoted your comment cause of the stupid avatar
edit: I've had it with Sarah Palin and I won't even look at another post featuring this stupid cunt until after the elections when she drags her ass back to that shit hole in Alaska. Imagine her being in charge of these weapons you've just seen in action... what a wonderful world indeed

The coolest fact about the B-52..
(from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-52_Stratofortress)

"The aircraft made its first flight on 15 April 1952"
...
"The Air Force intends to keep the B-52 in service until at least 2040, an unprecedented length of service for a military aircraft."

80+ Years of service should count as something.

mostly cruise missiles, cluster bombs, and bunker busters.

it can carry easily twice as many bombs seen in the entire clip, in one sortie.
60,000 lbs of payload, and you're about the height of one of those engines.

they used to stop over at my base, usually on the way out to guam.
the takeoff shakes the ground for miles.

There should be a channel for military porn. This definitely qualifies. It even has typical military-porn-music.

"They say the best weapon is one you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only need to fire once. That's how Dad did it, that's how America does it, and it's worked out pretty well so far."

I really liked this vid. They had a good sense of timing, without any noticeable repeats. Song was a good choice because it was strong, and had the "boom" refrain. Definite upvote.

also worthy of note, the B-52 is the hub of the eight inventions of James Burke's Connections series.

it's featured at the beginning of the last episode:

Did they bomb a red cross tent at 1:19?

^ no. though it's easy to see why you would wonder.

it's a test range dummy building, though.

just a mockup, with a target painted on it.
