The B-52 Stratofortress
May 9th 1961, first B-52 H delivered to SAC at Wurtsmith Air Force Base, Mich.
As the B-52 rolled of the Boeing production line it began its vigilant patrol of
the skies giving the USA a significant edge, first in the battle of the Cold
War, The Vietnam Conflict, Operation Desert Storm, and she continues her duty to
this day.
The B-52 has been a major part of history for almost 50 years
now. Of the 744 planes built since 1951 approximately 100 still remain in service
today.
Here is a unique opportunity to own a piece of that history of this incredible
