B-52 gets mapped for laser operations with Litening pod

A B-52H was towed into a hangar at Edwards Air Force Base recently whereby testers from the 419th Flight Test Squadron created a “MASK curve” of the bomber so that the Litening pod’s laser won’t hit the air frame when it is looking at the aircraft’s structure.
