MITO

B-52 Stratofortress bombers taxi on the flightline during a minimum interval takeoff on Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Dec. 5, 2013. During a MITO, starter carts filled with gunpowder are used to quickly fire the bomber?s engines for takeoff. The launch procedure allows our deterrent force to respond as rapidly as possible when called upon. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Amber Corcoran)
