Do the B-52s usually do much flying at this show, or just a few passes? Do they allow you to check out the cockpit?

To put it another way, if the B-52 were my favorite plane and I made the drive from Michigan primarily for that…would I be disappointed?

You’ll see them fly! Nothing crazy. I don’t know if you can get in a cockpit though as I’m usually doing pyro.
