RE: B52 without ailerons?
Not really any horror stories to talk about. The airplane is very stable, and the only challenge is heavy cross winds, but the crosswind crab system helps with that a lot. It can get difficult when you have multiple engines out on one side. Most emergencies require us to burn down fuel to lightweight, so that takes a lot of the variables out of EPs down final approach. On another note, the only difficulty in general is its a very physically challenging plane to fly, especially if you have to fly long times without the autopilot. 2-3 hours in just the pattern autopilot off will wear you out.
