The wings of a B-52 Stratofortress can flex significantly during flight, with reports indicating a maximum upward flex of about 10 feet (3 meters) at the wingtips under certain conditions, such as during turbulence or heavy maneuvers. This design feature allows the aircraft to handle aerodynamic stresses and enhances its performance. The flexibility is a result of the wing's structure, which is designed to accommodate the forces experienced during various flight operations.

What side do you want the flex on if you shoot right on a hockey stick?

Flex is a measure of how bendable the stick is, the flex has nothing to do with left of right handedness. For high school players the standard flex is 85, with some of the stronger players using 100 flex. You want a flex that is going to allow you to get as much snap as possible when you shoot. The lower the flex, the easier the stick bends.
