The B-52 is considered the longest serving front-line military aircraft in aviation history. With air-to-air refueling, B52s are a truly global aircraft and have flown nonstop around the world, some 24,000 miles. B-52 bombers were considered the weapon the enemy feared most in the Vietnam War. B-52Ds would fly too high to be seen or heard, dropping over one hundred 500-lb bombs each.

The BUFFs (Big Ugly Fat Fellows) have survived wars, modernization and remained in the active Air Force inventory for almost 50 years. Our aircraft accumulated more than 200 combat missions in the Vietnam War, which lasted from 1966-1975.
