The B-52 was at the Pacific Airshow this year.
However, only on Saturday. So I missed it. Very disappointed.
In terms of lenght, the closest 737 to the MAX 7 isn’t the -700, but rather the -400

As far as i know I’ve only seen 1 A338
All my life, I thought they sailed in the sea, finding this out today was truly disappointing and I don’t know if I will ever be able to recover.
NASA’s B-52s likely could not extend their flaps, as their right wings had a huge section of the trailing edge cut off to fit other aircraft under the pod:
On the rare occasions they did, it was generally on the ground, turned off. Notice, however, how the internal flaps are retracted, despite the external ones being extended:

If, for whatever reason, you want to tell a B-52F apart from the other tall-tail B-52 variants, the best way to do so is to look at its engines’ intakes.
Here’s a B-52E (testing a JT9D), which features the older variant of the J57. Notice how just after the intake there seems to be a sort of flat disk:
Compare this to the B-52F, which has something more like a spinner cone:
Here are the older J57s up close:
And here is the newer model up close:
Despite many claiming that each of the C-5M’s engines produce 22% more thrust than the TF39s, they actually only produce about 17.5% more thrust (43000lbf vs 50500lbf)

I mean, they sorta do. That’s a pretty crucial part of a combustion engine.
