15 Years After Start: B-52 Bomber With Rolls-Royce Engines Wont Fly Until 2033

According to a new report, the upgraded, re-engined B-52J Superfotresses are not expected to enter service until 2033.

The B-52 is America’s most accomplished bomber of the post-WWII era. Let’s take a look at some of this illustrious aircraft’s most defining missions.

These two aircraft will form the backbone of the USAFs bomber force for years to come.

After fitting its Boeing B-52s with new Rolls-Royce engines, the USAF expects the plane to remain in service until 2050.

With almost 3,200 aircraft, including over 1,000 fighter jets, The Boneyard is home to an impressive array of retired military aircraft.

With sorties of up to 40 hours possible, crews may need to relieve themselves sometimes, but where?

The aircraft can be armed for dozens of different missions.

Non-military personnel don’t typically get to see a B-52 bomber take off and land. Civilians at an airport in Louisiana just got a rare treat.

The USAF has been publishing its best pictures for almost 13 years now.

The B-52 had a strong influence on American pop culture.
