Google Earth Edwards AFB

Well I had downloaded Google Earth and the first thing I thought of was "I wonder what I can see at airbases". And what better airbase to start with than Edwards? I love aircraft and the such so of course it was my first thought.

Okay

I know I read to many Dale Brown novels but the nose on the B-52 looks very pointy compared to my impressions. Did they in fact make some "Megafortress's" or am I projecting what I want to see?

Maybe a better question is are there any exotic B-52 projects?

From what I understand, the profile of the B-52 has always been pointy. That, or the nose profile has been changed since the older models.

The late model B-52s have a more "pointy" nose profile than the early models. Parked side by side, the NASA B-52B and B-52H ilustrated this point very nicely.

Excellent.

The only b-52 I have been close to are at Tuscon ...so I guess I have only seen 'older ' versions (b's).
