Notes | |
* Fire Arc: Fixed Rear (treat as opposite of Fixed Forward). Since it is far more likely that the B-52 would be attacked by missiles than by cannon fire, most aircraft have had their Vulcan cannons removed (see leftmost picture at top of page). The gunner's seat remains in the cabin, however, and is often used by instructors. (Remove LAAC and ammunition, add Passenger Seat (1); modified TV: 44,370) |
