A Toast to the "B-52s in the Desert"
On the south end of Rogers dry lake bed (And just north of the
barded-wire fence surrounding Edwards AFB), sit two B-52 bomber that were used
for experimental purposes until the late 1960s (one bomber was used for testing
barrier landing systems, and the other testing engines with General
Electric). These two lonesome bombers rest silently at Edwards, never to
fly again (In fact, one was rendered inoperable due to an arms reduction
treaty). Their service to the United States completed, we honor the
contributions, and the lives testing these aircraft saved, in beverage
form.
Note:
This recipe is a variation of the well-known "B-52" shooter.
