LOOKING TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE B-52 WHERE THE LADDER IS DOWN IN ORDER TO BOARD THE PLANE
WAITING TO BOARD AND TALKING TO ONE OF THE CREWMEN. THERE WAS ONLY ENOUGH ROOM FOR FIVE TO BOARD AT A TIME.
THERE USED TO BE A .50 CAL. IN THE TAIL BUT IT HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT.

SMITTY, DOC & RAY IN FRONT OF RADAR & BOMBARDIER SEATS. IT'S LIKE WORKING IN A TINY CLOSET.
