BTW, during all of my time in B-52's ('62-'68, '71-'75, '79-'81), whenever
we went into target study for our nuclear alert missions (coupla times a
month), I always checked out the B&W aerial photos of our targets, offset
aiming points, etc., 'Did lotsa interesting "sightseeing" via these very
high resolution photos made by U-2's, SR-71's and satellites. Occasionally,
I'd hand one to one of the other crewmen and ask, "What's the score in the
soccer game there?" Or, "Read me the license plate on that car." They were
good, but never saw one quite that good.
