For a long time, the comic figure Yosemite Sam had been the unofficial mascot of the unit which was also adorned the tail unit of this B-52H during the maneuver "Great Strike" in England in 1981. The airplane features the standard camouflage livery of the B-52 fleet of the 1970s and 1980s and features the then used tail cannon. Designed to meet an Air Materiel Command requirement for a long-range, strategic bomber, the B-52 Stratofortress was first flown on April 15, 1952. First envisioned as a straight wing, six turboprop aircraft, the B-52 underwent a number of design changes before becoming the swept-wing, eight turbojet aircraft it is today. Originally built for Cold War era "deterrence" missions, this aircraft is capable of carrying nuclear weapons but in actual combat has only dropped conventional munitions. Its long service career has included Vietnam, the Persian Gulf and Afghanistan and Iraq, and it is expected to continue serving until at least 2040. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
