Re: Noob intro and question about Del Prado

Welcome to the forum, and I am sure somebody here will have the answer to your question. Nice looking B-52 model you planning on adding to your collection. I provided aircrew weather briefs to B-52 aircrews for just a little over ten years of my military service (Just over 4 years at Castle AFB and a little over 6 years at Barksdale AFB), I have seen lots of B-52s and even got to go up in one when I was stationed at Castle AFB. For a short period of time a few of us weather forcasters got to go up to get an idea how weather actually effected flight operations. Riding downstairs is not to much fun, upstairs was pretty cool.

The ex-Castle AFB Museum has a great outdoor collection of aircraft: B-23, Vulcan, B-47, B-36, interior tour KC-97, B-25, B-24, B-17, B-29, C-46, F-104, etc
Well worth a visit.
