: Three and Balls Eight, allmost certainly had
: some form of cockpit dash clock, or
: stop-watch timer. Where, or how do we find
: that out?
: Yours Roger.

Hello Roger
I'm by no means knowledgeable nor have I the know-how you imply....I'm just an watch/space enthusiast which dedicates way TOO MUCH of my spare time to this hobby... :-)

Regarding the B52, there's a picture on the pic database which i refered on my previous post that shows the B52 cockpit. This one, 008, has some historical and strangely I couldn't spot a single timing device...Maybe the timing was made with the pilot's chonographs (hopefully Heuers, just to get this post on topic ;)...)
Regards
Francisco
