http://jaywa.kaywa.com/files/images/2005/6/mob152_ ... - inactive, on 04/10/2008, -7/+213It's not that big. I mean, yeah, it's an airplane, but it's not big for plane standards, really.
- mgoodson, on 04/10/2008, -5/+203am i supposed to be looking at the plane?it isn't that big..i'm still looking for some sort of giant seagull or something.

- digitalpencil, on 04/10/2008, -0/+30I put far too much effort into these things..
http://img101.imageshack.us/my.php?image=waldosh4. ... - NoCt1, on 04/10/2008, -0/+29I know. I was expecting to see Big Bird flying around or something. Not a plane sitting there.
- T8erT0T, on 04/10/2008, -3/+29Lord Xenu's starship.
- tlenker, on 04/10/2008, -17/+42You idiot! It's tools like these that keep peace. It's designed to scare the hell out of nations wanting to attack us.
- lirem, on 04/10/2008, -2/+23Why is this in Political News?
- inactive, on 04/10/2008, -3/+21Well, really, my Maxima is just a car, until I decide to go run over some babies or something, at which case it's now a 1,300kg ball of rolling metal destruction.
- Gravey9, on 04/10/2008, -1/+18I'm more interested in that incredible small "bird" in the bottom left corner. Look at the comparison of the "bird" and the man next to it!
- inactive, on 04/10/2008, -3/+19Because this is a pitiful submission and got frontpaged for no real reason.
- Snappysnap, on 04/10/2008, -2/+18Then why is everything on the ground?
- Lithpiperpilot, on 04/10/2008, -10/+25It doesn't seem so big, until you look at the P-51 in the bottom left of the picture!
- Revovisionary, on 04/10/2008, -5/+20It is also use to send supplies in humanitarian relief.
- ShoGinn, on 04/10/2008, -2/+17And to think its only 48 years old.
- bodger, on 04/10/2008, -0/+14It might look big in the picture you linked to, but if you have people in the shot so you have something to compare it to, then you'll see it's not so big. See http://www.upgradetravelbetter.com/wp-content/uplo ... .
- edwartica, on 04/10/2008, -1/+15That's what she said!!!!
- Harbinger1080, on 04/10/2008, -2/+15You know, I understand the science behind airfoils and how planes stay in the air... but it still blows my mind that something so damned big can stay in the sky.
- ChristmasPoo, on 04/10/2008, -9/+22"America ***** YEAH!"
- ghee, on 04/10/2008, -2/+15Where and what is this event?
- socalslaker, on 04/10/2008, -4/+16This is an Air Show at Barksdale AFB in Shreveport Louisiana. I would know i was the one that towed that plane to that spot while i was stationed there
- northernmunky, on 04/10/2008, -6/+18Its a shame that according to America, a WMD is only a WMD when its not an American WMD
- danielinvermont, on 04/10/2008, -1/+12This is a B-52, isn't a C-5 actually bigger?
- inactive, on 04/10/2008, -5/+15Yeah. Isn't it awesome?
- Jwoey, on 04/10/2008, -1/+11Definitely the least interesting front-pager i've ever seen
- awakenall, on 04/10/2008, -1/+11...and, just above the P51 is the space shuttle. The bird is getting bigger and bigger.
- northernmunky, on 04/10/2008, -6/+16but you still use them to attack nations that haven't attacked you!
(note: 'Al Qaeda' is not a nation) - Sibre, on 04/10/2008, -3/+13Try the correct reply link next time...
- cyberdork, on 04/10/2008, -2/+11Because nowadays most 15 year old boys get hardons when they see anything military or weapons related...
- Sysprod, on 04/10/2008, -0/+9Forget the bomber! It's not everyday you get to see one of the last, functioning, Super Constellation's (upper right, TWA plane)
There's one here at the hangar I am at, getting restored for a museum. Amazingly strange aircraft... - Soulbow2, on 04/10/2008, -2/+10That looks like the Sun N' Fun airshow in Lakeland, FL. I'm going on Sunday, it opened Tuesday. This airshow is the second largest in America, if not the world. The largest is in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
- BigLLamasHouse, on 04/10/2008, -1/+9it would help if we didn't elect corporate scumbags and unequivocally spoiled trust fund babies to lead us... just sayin
- Lithpiperpilot, on 04/10/2008, -1/+9I think I need more sleep, as that obviously isn't a plane... digg me down.
- mikasaur, on 04/10/2008, -1/+9I can't tell if you're joking or if you really didn't see that the P-51 is obviously a scale model.
- fwertz, on 04/10/2008, -1/+8Ze plane! Ze plane!
- Nerolus, on 04/10/2008, -1/+8That is peace?
- SteelCurtain08, on 04/10/2008, -8/+15What's truly a shame is that instead of someone marveling over the feat of ingenuity that is the B-52 Stratofortress, they are forced to feel guilty over internet extremists claiming that support of the US Military is the equivalent of supporting a weapon of mass destruction. While the military is certainly being used incorrectly now, machines like this are not unneccesary. These planes were extremely useful in deterring a nuclear war in the 70's and 80's.
It is entirely uneccesary and exaggerative to claim that Americans are on a downward sprial because they think a massive airplane is cool. There are plenty of more sreious problems to focus on. - amirman, on 04/10/2008, -1/+8anyone that diggs you down does so because of their guilt
- edwartica, on 04/10/2008, -0/+7I thought THIS was a b-52 (actually, a few of them)
http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44015000/jpg ... - BigLLamasHouse, on 04/10/2008, -8/+15If we didn't have things like this, you think there would be the peace that you think you so rightly deserve? We've been attacked once by a sovereign power in over 100 years... and it's because of planes like this and the brave men who fly them. I'm sorry if you don't think thats cool. I do.
- edwartica, on 04/10/2008, -4/+11Last time I checked, we were not in a time of peace, but rather a time of war. So these things are obviously not doing their jobs.
- inactive, on 04/10/2008, -0/+7that's what your girlfriend said
- Dylson, on 04/10/2008, -0/+6I was expecting to find something amazing, and then ***** bricks.
- Axeman2063, on 04/10/2008, -1/+7Antonov 225 was bigger:D:D
