BREAKING – U.S. B-52H Stratofortress bombers deployed to the Middle East today; for the first time in months.
The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is an American long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber. The B-52 was designed and built by Boeing, which has continued to provide support and upgrades. It has been operated by the United States Air Force since the 1950s.
As of June 2019, there were 58 B–52s in use with the Air Force and 18 more with the Reserve. Two B–52s have returned to service from 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona, also known as the “boneyard,” where retired or mothballed aircraft are stored.
