The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is one of the longest-serving bombers in the history of aviation.<\/p>\n

Fighters from Spain and other allied countries escort B-52 bombers over Europe<\/a><\/rel>
\nThe USAF publishes the images of the deployment of four B-52 bombers in Spain<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

This formidable aircraft made its first flight on April 15, 1952<\/strong> and entered service in the United States Air Force in February 1955 in its first versions. A total of 744 B-52s were built, of which 72 are still active<\/strong>, all of them the B-52H version.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Currently, a modernization process of this bomber to the B-52J version is underway<\/strong>, with new Rolls Royce F130 engines, a new radar and improvements in its avionics and communication systems. All forecasts indicate that the B-52 will continue to be active when the more modern B-1B Lancer and B-2 Spirit have already been retired from service<\/strong>. To get to know this plane better, I encourage you to see this excellent report published a few days ago by AiTelly<\/a>, which shows in detail what this strategic bomber looks like inside and how it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n
