Now on final in to Diego Garcia

The roll-out. Now for a quick reload and she's back to work.

No, the plane is not real. It is based on a description in a book by Dale Brown called "Flight Of The Old Dog". The plane can be DL'd here. look for EB52_v3.zip (four engine version) and EB52_v2.zip   (eight engine version)
