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 !
+Brain32 Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 60 years of flight, damn! They sure knew how to build stuff back then...
+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.
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
