Description
Looking out of the cockpit of a B-52 at rows of aircraft that have seen their time past. Boeing Aircraft was first contacted by the Defene Dept to come up with a long range bomber capable of flying at 400 miles per hour and a extended range to deliver its payload. First flight of these old warrors was 1952. From the Cold War to the Gulf War, also used as a Mother ship to test new aircraft and help Nasa in the space program they have earned a place in aviation history. Today only two bases are active with these old birds, Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota and Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisana. A speed of now of 650mph and range of 10,145 miles they are projected for service until 2040.
