Knew a bit about them, just that they were important in Vietnam.
Used to see big planes over Western Ohio, near Dayton.
The flew over 70 a lot as I drove through. No big deal.
Then one day I was running with an older guy, possibly
a Vietnam Vet. He mentioned that we were near Wright-patterson,
And that B-52s flew over the road. Pretty low. "AND HERE COMES ONE!"
Well, with my new information I was impressed.
And mentioned the 4 big engines.
"Look again, there's two engines on each of those pods."
Then, I was really impressed.
He went on to talk about the raids in Vietnam.
After that, I became a fan, and always looked forward to seeing them.
