  1. Cool old predecessor to the B-52.. Back in the late 1950's, there was a squadron of B-47's in Lake Charles, Louisiana.(Chennault Air Force Base) When fully loaded, the BB-47's used JATO rockets for takeoff; traffic on the main road was stopped because of all the rocket smoke when they took off going south. I witnessed this twice and was really impressed by the spectacle!
