B-52 Bomber

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MODEL PROJECT! There is a link at the bottom to watch it fly....Enjoy!
Now HERE's a REAL model airplane! U.S.Air Force B-52 Bomber

Actually has 8 real turbine engines at a cost of about $1500 each. Took over 2 years to build. Has a wing span of about 22 feet. Takes multiple pilots, as there are so many things to control. Actually has landing lights.

Think they were nervous during the maiden flight? Built & flown in England.

Unbelievable that someone would make this & it actually flys - with all real jet turbines $12,000 just for the engines!

Check out the movie link below to see the first flight. Not the best cameraman, but it works. First time ever, as far as anyone knows, that a model of a B-52 of any size, with real jet engines, has ever been flown. REALLY AMAZING !!
