Our gratitude to the air crews, their support, and to those
magnificent fortresses of flight that have served… so many
times… in so many ways.
The B-52 ‘Stratofortress’ is arguably the finest military aircraft ever built by standards of weapon system versatility, impact on war policy, range, cost, longevity and reliability of service in hostile environments.
Happy 55th Anniversary (2009) of alert duty, Stratofortress. You have served two generations of Americans faithfully.
