Walterjn The AF used to allow smoking in the plane, the B52 cockpit and crew area is very small, can't even stand up/ Smoking in the plane sucked. When I became Aircraft Commander, that stopped. Even with a sextant port, could not vent out the smoke and we held a ton of liquid oxygen plus a few gallons (45,000+) of Jet fuel. People are addicted
AF eventually banned smoking on jets and then from the offices, all good things. Next they "deglamorized alcohol"--no more Happy Hours at the Clubs. I stopped membership at that point, gone too far.
