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 55 th Anniversary (2009) of alert duty, Stratofortress. You have served two generations of Americans faithfully.
