The B-52 is a 488,000 lb. six seat long range bomber equipped with cannons, ALCMs, and nuclear free fall bombs. With a max speed of 600 m.p.h. and a range of 10,000 miles this ever changing 1960's bomber cost more than $20 million dollars each. B-52's saw extensive service in the Vietnam war as well as the Persian Gulf-war. 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.
