Engine #1 and #2 appear to have a problem on the B52. Hope it isn't too expensive to fix.

Fortunately that's just smoke canisters employed for visual effect. It was one of five B17's used in the making of the film 'Memphis Belle' & was fitted with the smoke canisters for that in order to portray a damaged & failing engine/s.

A surprisingly quiet aircraft. Nothing like the roar of the mighty Lancaster!.
