Silberpfeil Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 From this morning's AvWeb Flash E-zine, a B-52H named "Wise Guy" was delivered to Barksdale this past week from being parked a little over ten years at Davis-Monthan. This is the second B-52H to escape the boneyard, and when fully refurbished, "Wise Guy" will become the 76th B-52H in USAF service. The article also included an interesting video on the B-52, but the audio part could have been done a lot better! See the link below: 4 1 Quote

RUSTYMORLEY Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 It is a testament to its usefulness and power that the B-52 has managed to last so long. The B-52 is a truly awesome aircraft which can travel enormous distances and deliver a massive blow against an enemy position more or less in any part of the world. Hell it's even got a rock band named after it. Quote
