Thanks Jeff--I should have figured you'd know!

My pleasure, Terry. As kind of an aside, the B-52 is my all-time favorite airplane. Its development, history, and many rolls (many of which it was never designed for) it has fulfilled are fascinating to me. Plus, being an old Boeing guy and the fact that my dad worked on them during his tenure at Boeing, it has some real sentimental value for me. Uber airplane geek alert: my dad used to pile the kids in the car on a Saturday morning and make the drive to Fairchild AFB, all the way over in Spokane, just so we could watch them take off and land.
