Dr. Strangelove (1964)

Corrected entry: The B-52 approaches its target at a rate of 15 seconds per mile (240 mph), which is a bit too slow for an airplane. (01:21:40)

Correction: 240mph is a slow but reasonable speed for the B-52 in the low-altitude attack mode. The airplane lands at approximately 120 mph. Max level flight is about 550 mph, but the bomb bay doors tend to come off at that speed.
