Flying Formation with a B-52!!
Yep, I really did! I saw the B-52 flying low( for one of them anyway) coming from the N/E headed my way....I lined up with him and I flew to the S/W as far as I could! I'd say he was at 10,000 ft, usually they come over at 30,000. Well that B-52 had a 35 inch wingspan .049 powered escort for about 1/4 mile, just a little to the right and 9,900 ft below.

I'll bet the crew of the B-52 felt just a little safer knowing that any would be attackers might get an eye poked out.[sm=biggrin.gif]
