As in literally a B52?

A Bald Eagle that close and I'd be polluting the river.

Mac & George,

Little off your point but really COOL re birds.

Weekend on the Harleys up to Breaks Interstate Park on the VA/KY border -
standing on an overlook into the gorge - here come to two Golden Eagles
like B52's from our left, nothing but silhouettes, still something seemed
different so I called to the others, then they pass just UNDERNEATH us
and we realize what they are. First sighting for the wife & I and we get
to see them from overhead.

Don't have goldens up here, but the pair of bald eagles on the river have
another fledgling this year. When we're down swimming they sometimes come
in low right along the river to evaluate the size of the small dog.
River's maybe 40 feet wide just below the swimming hole, with trees right
to the banks. They're 7 feet across or more.

Reminds me of the days when they would allow it, and we took a trip down
the Grand Canyon in our B 52.
