Boeing B-52 Stratofortress (60-0023)

The Battleship of the sky!

Amazing this plane has been around so long and still going strong. A tribute to american ingunity.

It brings back good memories of when I was stationed at Fort Bliss in 1958.

Still a beauty even after all of these years.

"5" stars and many thanks to Paul for his dedicated endeavors to capture photo images of these grand U.S.A.F. B-52 birds!!!

Thank you Cliff! I have shot 33 of the 60' models and 19 of the 61' models. I keep a list of the BUFF'S I have shot in my iPad because my Mac or iPad and camera are always with me. Of course there are multiple shots of almost all the aircraft but if you ever see a page with the same tail number and they look like the same shot, look close and you will find some kind of modification on it like new antennas or with or without its weapons pods.

I was stationed at Davis Monthan in 1965 and used to go out to the moth balled planes. There were a few of these there and were just great to see up close. Thanks for the post.

1862?

Thank you all that have made comments on any of my photographs over the years, especially Cliff371! Whether it’s positive or if I was in a hurry and tagged a photo wrong and you brought it to my attention or just constructive criticism, thank you. I suffered a severe foot injury that has had me sidelined for what seems an eternity but I am almost finally healed and will be back in tennis shoes shortly and will soon be back doing what I love to do, photographing and documenting all these wonderful aircraft.
