The bombers flying out to the fail-safe and returning was, as I recall, only used during the Cuban Missile crisis.

That we know about.......

The boys were more interested in having the photo-record of their friendship preserved forever than in the huge machine thundering near them. Very nice. They knew what was the most important part of that day's outing.

Yes, while the engine photo is interesting - camelback! -- that little sub-scene really caught my eye so I saved this one to share here

Wonder if they were related to the engine's crew?

Interesting point, Rufus. Perhaps that is why the engine stopped for that moment.

Something or someone coordinated the capturing of the moment for some reason

That camelback has the tallest cylinder saddle I've ever seen.

Either that, or the "rasslin" match is about to begin, as the half nelson has already been applied!

I wonder how long the friendship lasted?
IMHO best friends are usually few and I think I had two.
One of those started in first grade in 1940 and lasted until he died in 1998.
The other began ih 1948 and lasted until his death in 2000.
The three of us were best friends.

Ahyes, rasslin ! My favorite pastime and sport when I was a snotnose, right straight thru high school and college, too.

Looks like the beginnings of a choke hold to me,
