My dad worked on these. In the 60s, fifty years old, it still flies.

The B-52 is a wonderfully designed plane which unlike some modern planes it can actually glide instead of plummeting to the earth SSgt (Join to see)
The avionics and weapons have been upgraded many times but the robust design has stood the test of time as this bomber has supported every war from the Korean War until the modern wars.
Long may the B-52 continue to serve this nation.
