Why would they build a corrosion control hangar:cambo swa wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 6:02 amMr. Hanno, there are different grades of aluminum and the aluminum on B52s does not corrode ever. Maybe it does on German aircraft.hanno wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 4:44 amAluminum does not rust, but it corrodes. A piece of corroded aluminum:cambo swa wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 11:51 pm
B-52s are aluminum so it is definitely not rust. The location is an air force base in the desert near Tuscon, Arizona so the brown is probably sand. The dark grey color is paint so maybe the lighter ones are de-painted or un-painter aluminum? They are stored there in the desert just to prevent rust of the non-aluminum components. Bus tours of the site are available (maybe not now with Covid).
Oh Mr Hanno, please tell me that was an intentional pun. If so, full marks!

Re: All Things Aviation
I seem to remember hearing or reading that the after the roll-out of the final turn, aircrafts were below normal 'decision height' (maybe 500ft?) where the approach must be stabilised and within certain parameters. Basically, normal rules didn't (or couldn't) apply to this approach.
Is that correct?
