Here’s the video of the B-52 bomber flying without its fin

As explained on a previous post, on Jan. 10, 1964, a B-52H lost its vertical tail during a test mission over North Mexico.

The aircraft was able to land six hours later and here’s a video showing the first and only “tailless” Stratofortress.
