What is the actual safety record of the B-52, which i subjectively consider to be the safest machine in history.
How would the B-52 match up against modern commercial airliners? (Does anyone, other than boeing, even track this stat?)
The calc would be something along the lines of;
Date-of-design -> completion, testing, commissioning, hours in flight - accidents, crashes,pilot error, time in service, fuselage age, etc...
I am subjectively of the opinion that the B-52 is the greatest aircraft ever made.
