    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      To familiarize himself with the B-52 and its flying characteristics, Rock Hudson flew on a short mission out of Walker AFB, Roswell NM.
    • Goofs
      During an inflight emergency when his B-52 experiences a fuel leak while refueling from a KC-135 tanker, Col Caldwell correctly orders his crew to don oxygen masks so as not to breathe the gas fumes. The crew puts on their masks, but the remaining scenes depicting the emergency show the crew with their masks off again, even though fuel is still leaking and fumes are still present.
    • Quotes
      • Sgt. Banning: Well, sir, I used to be a pretty slow "walker" myself. I mean, you really had to build a fire under my tail to get me to move. Then one day, General Hewett dropped in to have a little talk with us. And he built one hell of a fire. Only this one wasn't under my tail - he built a fire inside of me.
      • Col. Jim Caldwell: Sergeant, if I'm reading you right, you think I'm building the wrong kind of fires around here.
      • Sgt. Banning: Sir, I'm sure you can judge that better than I can.
