Boeing B-52 Stratofortress
The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is an American Cold War era long-range, subsonic, eight-engine strategic nuclear bomber. The first flight took place on April 15, 1952, entering service in June 1995 with the 93rd Heavy Bombardment Wing. It replaced the Convair B-36 Peacemaker in USAF Service. A veteran of several wars, the B-52 has completed over sixty-five years of continuous service with the USAF and, with upgrades, is expected to serve into the 2050s.
The flight crew typically consists of five, pilot, co-pilot, navigator, weapon systems officer, and electronic warfare officer.
The B-52B used eight Pratt & Whitney J57 axial-flow turbojets, pylon mounted in pairs under the wing. The armament consisted of two cannons or four machine guns in the tail turret. The internal bomb bay and two external hardpoints, one per wing, can carry up to 32,000 kg (70,000 lb) of stores.
