In the G and H models of the B-52, the gunner rode in the tail. And if he were to bail out, he would jettison his turret, which weighed something like 2,000 pounds. He sat on a chemical toilet back there,. But then he would bail out. Now he went with a conventional parachute. The cockpit arrangement is different in the G and the H than it was in the earlier, up to the F model, B-52. It's very interesting to hear sort of what your status was as a pilot. I actually asked you what level of alert was the highest level of alert you are.
