History:
The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress first flew in 1952 and has since become the backbone of the United States Air Force’s strategic bomber fleet. The B-52H, the final production variant, remains in service today, over six decades after its introduction. Renowned for its long range, heavy payload, and versatility, the B-52 has been adapted for roles ranging from nuclear deterrence to conventional bombing, maritime patrol, and electronic warfare. The 20th Bomb Squadron “Buccaneers” has a distinguished history operating the Stratofortress, symbolising the aircraft’s longevity and adaptability in modern airpower.
