     Landing speed would be a bit high, but I'm not sure how much control you 
have to keep the wingtip up.  As I recall, the B-52 uses spoilers for yaw just 
like the B-47 as ailerons would cause the wing to twist, resulting in reversed 
control.  Not sure if this is true, just something I understood from history.
