B52STRATO Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 It's almost the age of retirement but the good old BUFF is still not ready to let us alone ! Quote
+Brain32 Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 60 years of flight, damn! They sure knew how to build stuff back then... Quote
JediMaster Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 How bizarre that the B-52's first flight was the 40th anniversary of the Titanic's loss. Quote
Lexx_Luthor Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 B-52 was the plane, and KC-135, that brought Strategic Air Command back home, well for the most part, inside national borders. A long and unique read on the role of SAC overseas basing until the B-52 and KC-135, massive PDF file, 280 pages... ~> Strategic Frontier: American Bomber Bases Overseas, 1950 - 1960, by Kurt Wayne Schake Quote
