Got my attention. Strategic Air Command is a movie I will always watch despite the saccharine Stewart-Allison romance angle. the aerial photography is superb.

Our ranch was on the low-level route between Fairchild AFB, Washington, and Mountain Home, Idaho. Among my earliest memories are FEELING that huge leviathan headed our way. I swear you could FEEL it before you could see it, and NOTHING ELSE sounded like that. My first B-52 was a disappointment--just eight smoky jet engines!
