Post; B51's?

MI Blues · May 19th, 2005

Must mean B-52's.. cause the Canberra B-51 didn't have that kind of range.

But seriously - orbiting referred to a circular (or racetrack) "ready" flight path from which the bomber could depart and fly into the Soviet Union to deliver whatever payload it happened to be carrying. Can't get into where those orbits were, but suffice to say they were not - themselves - physically over USSR airspace.
