Pocket Guide To Bullshit Prevention
1. Who is telling me this?
2. How does he or she know this?
3. Given #1 and #2, is it possible that she or he is wrong?
4. If answer to #3 is xe2x80x9cyes,xe2x80x9d find another, unrelated source.
5. Repeat until answer to #3 is xe2x80x9cpretty f-ing unlikely.xe2x80x9d

During the conflict, several claims of Iraqi air-to-air successes were made, including an Iraqi pilot, Khudai Hijab, who allegedly fired a Vympel R-27R missile from his MIG-29 and damaged a B-52G on the opening night of the Gulf War.[197] However, the U.S. Air Force disputes this claim, stating the bomber was actually hit by friendly fire, an AGM-88 High-speed, Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) that homed on the fire-control radar of the B-52's tail gun; the jet was subsequently renamed In HARM's Way.[198] Shortly following this incident, General George Lee Butler announced that the gunner position on B-52 crews would be eliminated, and the gun turrets permanently deactivated, commencing on 1 October 1991.

Re: Pocket Guide To Bullshit Prevention
Jliat after you have learned about the B-52D Tail Gunner's Position get back with me.
We can discuss the later model B-52's Tail Gunner's Position, Radar and Guns after class.

Re: Pocket Guide To Bullshit Prevention
By 1991 All tail guns were removed, but the 52-D was long gone.....The fleet of D models stayed largely intact until late 1978, when 37 not already upgraded Ds were retired.[183] The remainder were retired between 1982 and 1983
So you are saying your location is "Location: B-52D Tail Gunner" Hmmm... might have been 37 years ago..

Oh wait - are you in an aircraft museum?

He mentioned being stationed near mount pinatubo(I think that's what he wrote) in a gear thread about a pedal with bits of the Berlin wall as part of it....so Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines is how he knows what's what.JLIAT wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 4:43 am

Re: Pocket Guide To Bullshit Prevention
But the current B52s have no tail gun, and the B52Ds were scrapped 37 years ago. Looking up there are a number of B52Ds in museums in the USA, and even one at Duxford in the UK.RUBBISH wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 6:02 amHe mentioned being stationed near mount pinatubo(I think that's what he wrote) in a gear thread about a pedal with bits of the Berlin wall as part of it....so Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines is how he knows what's what.JLIAT wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 4:43 am

Re: Pocket Guide To Bullshit Prevention
Yep, removed from the 1990s and the gunners positions moved earlier.
Nice thread!
