I found that the Typhoons look seems to be very much hate it or love it.

Making a video, or at least an outside walkaround of the B52 will probably be possible. Of the Bear, unlikely for now although I'd be up for it

Always considered the Eurofighter to be an ugly plane and the Rafael much sexier. The Eurofighter already looks outdated.

While all 3 aircraft mentioned were developed and put into service at roughly the same time, Wikipedia says the B52's maiden flight preceded that of the TU 95 by 6 or 7 months in 1952 with '52 entering into service in 1955 a bit before the '95's entry in '56. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-95 & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_B-52_Stratofortress

Hey, Bis, Thanks for showing us around such an amazing aircraft. I know the Us Marines' Osprey requires computer assistance for safe flight. I guess the same is needed for canards on fighters. But you said nothing about the most amazing thing in this video, and it wasn't even about the Typhoon. You showed us a photo of a Typhoon shadowing a Russian Tu-95 Bear! That thing's more ancient than the B-52! Wikipedia said they first flew in 1952 , and stayed in production into 1993. Maybe the C-130 has been in production longer, but I'd still like to see some episodes about very long-serving aircraft. I hope we can fund travels to such other parts of the world as will make that possible.
