From what he said, those are dud missles, used for training purposes only.

he said it himself, he didn't take the photo.
also, those aren't dud missiles, they are AICM flares. seems like the son of a former fighter pilot would know this...
a military officer would not "sneak a camera onboard" a B-52 and risk being court-martialed and having his career fall apart for the sake of a novelty photo. also, his father being a retired pilot that now works on the blue angels aircraft is complete BS. the average age of the support and maintenance team is 26 years old, and it doesn't stray too far in either direction. pilots in the military usually retire in their thirties and go on to the airlines for the remainder of their flying days. he is basically saying his dad was in the military, then left and went to the airlines, and then re-enlisted in the military....
it's not a big deal, but it was a lie, and it should be exposed.
