Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I try not to go out. Since I was bored, I had no choice but to stay home and restore some old photos. I posted the B-1 and B-2 the other day, so here are a few B-52 photos. These photos were taken at the Open Day at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii.

The B-52 "Stratofortress" is a long-range strategic bomber developed by Boeing, powered by eight engines, and designed to replace the B-36 Peacemaker for strategic bombing missions. The design proposal was submitted in 1948, the first prototype flew in 1952, and mass production began in 1955. It evolved through 8 variants: B-52A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. Production ended in 1962 with a total of 744 aircraft built. The 1990s marked the peak usage of the B-52, with over 600 aircraft of various models serving in the U.S. Strategic Air Command, after which most early models were subsequently retired.
