I was stationed at Dow AFB Maine... I was a crew member on B-52 and we had been in the air for about 4 hrs on a 24hr mission during "Operation Chrome Dome" carrying nuclear weapons... Mission was to be a staple of deterrence at the peak of the Cold War. At times, 12 armed bombers were aloft at any given moment.
