Historical Significance:

The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress has served as the backbone of America's strategic bomber force since 1955, making it one of the longest-serving military aircraft in history. The B-52H variant, powered by eight Pratt & Whitney TF33 turbofan engines, entered service in 1961 and remains operational today. The 20th Bomb Squadron "Buccaneers," based at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, has flown B-52s for decades, participating in operations from Vietnam to the Gulf Wars and continuing global deterrence missions. With its massive payload capacity and intercontinental range, the B-52H can deliver both conventional and nuclear weapons, making it a cornerstone of American airpower.
