The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is an American long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber. The B-52 was designed and built by Boeing, which has continued to provide support and upgrades. It has been operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since the 1950s, and NASA for nearly 50 years.
The only active operational model of the B-52 is the B-52H. It is currently stationed at three USAF bases, flown by four wings: [1] 2nd Bomb Wing (AFGSC) – Barksdale AFB, Louisiana. 11th Bomb Squadron (B-52H, Tail Code: LA, Gold Tail Stripe) 20th Bomb Squadron (B-52H, Tail Code: LA, Blue Tail Stripe)
