This LINK came to me via former colleagues in USA who were somewhat impressed.

9 min long Video of B52.
 
That is pretty impressive. Thanks for sharing.

I wonder if it'll fly on 6 engines. I knew a fellow who flew B-52s. He said it wasn't too uncommon to have an engine go. He said frequently, when an engine would go--turbine come apart I suppose--it would take out its neighbor. He said a good flight in a B-52 was when you returned with all 8 engines and they were all still operational.
 
Guess you seen this before.....

A military pilot called for a priority landing because his single-engine jet fighter was running “a bit peaked.” Air Traffic Control told the fighter pilot that he was number two, behind a B-52 that had one engine shut down. “Ah,” the fighter pilot remarked, “The dreaded seven-engine approach.”
