The B-52 was brought into service in 1953, and has served proudly in every major conflict since that time, all the way up to Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2002. That is an amazing life span... Nearly six decades of being in the line of fire, and it is slated to be in service until 2040. That's just simply amazing...

I wish I wasnt afraid of heights, I would love to fly one of those.

The B-52 is a work horse. A grand piece of design, and a flying bomb platform. I remember the ground shaking as they flew over at 60,000 feet during Operation Desert Shield/Storm.

Within thirty minutes the ground was shaking again and the sky in the distance aglow from them emptying their payload. And then of course it was time for the return flyover. We never got much sleep at night thanks to them, but I am sure glad they were deliver to the other guy instead of me.

You're living in your own Private Idaho
Living in your own Private Idaho
Underground like a wild potato.
Don't go on the patio.
Beware of the pool,
blue bottomless pool.
It leads you straight
right throught the gate
that opens on the pool.

You're living in your own Private Idaho.
You're living in your own Private Idaho.

Keep off the path, beware the gate,
watch out for signs that say "hidden driveways".
Don't let the chlorine in your eyes
blind you to the awful surprise
that's waitin' for you at
the bottom of the bottomless blue blue blue pool.

You're livin in your own Private Idaho. Idaho.
You're out of control, the rivers that roll,
you fell into the water and down to Idaho.
Get out of that state,
get out of that state you're in.
You better beware.

You're living in your own Private Idaho.
You're living in your own Private Idaho.

Keep off the patio,
keep off the path.
The lawn may be green
but you better not be seen
walkin' through the gate that leads you down,
down to a pool fraught with danger
is a pool full of strangers.

You're living in your own Private Idaho,
where do I go from here to a better state than this.
Well, don't be blind to the big surprise
swimming round and round like the deadly hand
of a radium clock, at the bottom, of the pool.

I-I-I-daho
I-I-I-daho
Woah oh oh woah oh oh woah oh oh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Get out of that state
Get out of that state
You're living in your own Private Idaho,
livin in your own Private.... Idaho
