"B-52D Stratofortress
Plans for the B-52 began as early as 1945, but the firest flight of a B-52D was not until June 4, 1956. The operational life of the B-52 spans the period from 1957 to present and included the most critical phase of the war in Vietnam.

The aircraft you see here was amoung 170 B-52Ds manufactured by Boeing Airplane Company, and was equipped exclusively for long-range bombing missions. "Calamity Jane", as she is called, has been demilitarized, but remains in the high camouflage used during Vietnam operations. "
