But Can They Do It On the Wing of a Flying B52?

The inspiration and back story for this cartoon comes from the Air Force Base newspaper The Northern Sentry.

The story was about U.S. Air Force Master Sgt Jonathan Salvador, a very gifted musician. Jonathan says in the article "Music is just like technical orders, a step by step guide on how to do a mechanical task just like playing a new song on guitar, you have to follow each beat note by note". Jonathan has preformed at many AF related events across the country.

Still I have to ask, can he do it on a flying B52?

I love being IN an airplane Michael Elliott but I don't know if I'd be so brave to stand on the wing of a moving plane. You would have to really trust the pilot.

The talk of music caught my attention as it is a source of pleasure that when performed well soothes

I am on the same page Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 as music has kept me from full-out rage at times (in my young man days).

I'm thinking it would be hard to be totally into the music when you also have to pay attention to not falling off a moving plane! Maybe if it were parked....

Parked would be my speed for sure Kat Palmiotti 😉.

Good morning Bob. In a B52 or on the wing of a B52, that is the question! So many are multi-talented.  Kudos to Jonathan. As for the tennis on the wing of a biplane in flight, no thanks! Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin a wayward tennis ball would be like my golf drive into the woods... gone forever. 🙃

Even though I enjoy playing tennis, I don't think I would try playing tennis as those two guys are, haha.

Brian England I wonder how fast they run out of tennis balls? 🙄

I've had to skip tennis for the last two years Katina Hargrove 352-551-0308 due to injury but I'm hoping I will be fit for 2025.

Sadly, I have no musical talents.

Have a great day, Bob, and an outstanding week.

As they say Roy Kelley I could not carry a tune in a bucket. I wish I could as I love listening.

Good morning, Bob... I am totally unmusical... so I just don't get what goes into making music, I'm afraid.

Good morning me Love. I have tried playing many instruments Nina Hollander, Broker with the hopes something would "click". So far a kazoo is the best fit. 😛

Hello Bob - I am constantly amazed when some creative feats are performed at any level.

Amen Michael Jacobs and when I see those feats I'm just speechless. One of my favorites was repeated several times yesterday (Sunday) and that is when a Running back goes out full speed, catches a ball, gets clobbered AND hangs on to the ball. Go Vikings!

Hello Bob I do not think a outside of a B-52 would be wise to try but inside is okay.  Thanks for your daily comic strips to share with us.
