That was my father's keychain fob. I didn't go until 1971 and was there for subsequent tours in 72 and was there at the end in 73. It was something I had been working toward since I was 12 or so hanging out by the flightline watching the jets take off. It was a honor to be in SAC and wear wings like LeMay, Vandenberg, Dougherty, Twining, all the great bomber pilots.
Here's an H with conventional weapons. Or we carried four internal nukes and a clip of 6 short range nuke missiles on a revolving carriage. On the D in Vietnam we carried 108 internal and external 500lb fragmentation bombs or a mix of 84, at 60 750 pounders internally and 24 500 pounders on the wing racks.
