B-52 aircrew members return to Minot Air Force Base after decades
By: The Associated Press   15 hours ago
 

MINOT, N.D. — Two aircrew members of one of the first B-52H bombers to arrive at the Minot Air Force Base are returning decades later.

Brad Foote and Bill Sims are making plans to return to Minot for Northern Neighbors Day, the base’s open house and air show on Aug. 4, the Minot Daily News reported.

The pair made history in 1961 when they were aircrew members of one of the first two B-52s arriving at the new Minot base. Foote said their plane was the backup in case the first bomber couldn't get to the base or land.
