We stayed at a motel one time years ago at the south end of the runway near Carswell . It was hard to go to the convention once you saw a few of the B-52's taking off! As best as I remember, the motel seemed to be at a higher altitude than surrounding land and we got a good view of the takeoffs!
A little off subject from the B-52, I never saw this close up of the B-36 nose wheel before lifting.....!

I basically grew up at Carswell. I got a VIP tour of the B-52 when I was a kid, and worked at the base later as a civilian. It broke my heart when the B-52s left. Such an awesome plane.
Here's one making a high speed pass at an air show somewhere.
