Sideview of the Big Fella. I spent about 19 months at The Griff, arriving in April 1967 and leaving in Oct. 1968. I started out in Tankers (KC-135s) and was transferred to Bombers. As a young 18-year-old fresh out of tech school (Chanute AFB), the B-52 was very intimidating. It looked so huge and massive. In fact, some 40 years later, it's still big.
