Air Force Boeing B-52H Stratofortress Crashes at Guam Base
A B-52H Stratofortress bomber aborted takeoff and crashed at Andersen Air Force Base on the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam, the Air Force said Wednesday night. None of the seven people aboard was injured. The giant plane, part of the 69th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, was on a routine training mission when it reported down at the base's flight line, or maintenance area, about 8:30 a.m. (6:30 p.m. ET), the Air Force said.

If I made the 735 mile drive to Barksdale AFB, what are the chances of seeing B52 flight ops?
Hard to say. Since BUFFs have been deployed to the mideast, don't know what's left at the base for daily "flight ops". That's a long drive for a slim chance to see a BUFF. It's also difficult to say what you would be able to see unless you are able to get on base. Always lots of good internet videos!
as in flying!
Training was a definite part of this miracle.
Less opportunity for Guam to sink or capsize (As Hank Johnson said he was afraid it would do a few years ago). ;-)

There are some H models at D-M in storage - one came out recently to replace a damaged active duty one - looks another will be reactivated.
