I didn’t realize a B-52 had never landed in South Korea before. I would have assumed it had already happened enough times to be completely unremarkable.

Same. I guess they usually stay at Okinawa, or taiwan or maybe the Phillipines.

or Guam.

At first I was thinking Guam would be too far to actually fly sorties from, but with an 8000miles range, I could see them doing that during Vietnam or some other pacific theater.
