William "Bill" Pedeaux gazed around the cockpit of the B-52 H Stratofortress last week at Barksdale Air Force Base, a steely glint flashing in his eyes. It was a look that hadn't come across his face in over 28 years — the last time Pedeaux had flown in the jet while on active-duty at now defunct Castle Air Force Base, California.
