Title: Taxiways and B52 Post by dpoos on Jun 7th, 2013 at 6:48pm
Hi all,
It's been a log time since I've read through this site. Quick question. I've noticed that several of the airports where SAC B 52's were station (Anderson-Guam) for example, along with others, have taxiways leading up to active runways where the outriggers (wing landing gear) on the B 52's are rolling through the dirt and the taxiway signs on both sides of the taxiway as my B 52 is centered on the center stripe heading for the active. Is this "real world"? Thought 1: The FSX airport taxiways at these airports are not accurate. (my guess) Thought 2: The B-52 model is out of scale (doesn't appear that way to me) Thought 3: This is "real world" and I am wrong in thinking that the USAF would make it's "real world" pilots and aircrews have to dodge taxi signs, ditches, gas tanks, etc. in such a valuable piece of equipment in order to get to the active on a SAC or other USAF base. Comments or answers? Any good airport scenery out there for former SAC bases? Note: Just read a really good book on real world B-52 operations entitled "Flying from the Black Hole - The B52 Navigator-Bombardiers of Vietnam" Naval Institute Press by Robert O. Harder. Thanks for any replies Dean |
