The Pima Air & Space Museum has done a superb job in restoring this historic old 'BUFF' however back in 1987 she still looked as if she had been dragged in from the adjacent AMARC storage facility.
Even with her engine inlet covers attached this 2nd Bomb Wing B-52H looks like a heavyweight warrior. The effect is further enhanced by the addition of combat mission markings just beneath the unit badge.
This B-52G was operated as part of the 366th Wing for a short period of time before being replaced by the B-1B. She wore artwork which appears to be a Thunderbird and there were mission marks on her forward fuselage.
An interesting exhibit with a superb piece of 'Tornado' nose art in the static display at the 1993 Edwards AFB Open House, this B-52G was operated by the resident 412th TW.
When photographed at the 1993 Mildenhall Air Fete this B-52G had less than an year's active service left to complete. Operated by the 34th BS out of Castle AFB but reporting to the 366th Wing at Mountain Home. Wearing 57 'Desert Storm' mission symbols.
Formerly operated by the 96th Bomb Wing out of Dyess AFB TX this B-52D was retired to AMARC in May 1982 and was still in very good condition when photographed nearly five years later. In June 1991 she was placed on display at the Davis-Monthan AFB gate.
