B-52 | ||||
The museum displays the first operational B-52 aircraft assigned to the Strategic Air Command, a B-52B (RB) (SN 52-8711) reconnaissance aircraft. Many other types of bombers were also converted to reconnaissance aircraft, being redesignated as an "RB" (e.g., the reconnaissance version of the B-36 was the "RB-36"). The "B-52B (RB)" nomenclature breaks with this practice and its meaning is not entirely clear to me. As of now, I have not yet sorted through all of my pictures of the B-52, but some other page references this location. Thus, this is a "place holder" version right now, with only the pictures actually referenced. Come back some time later to see if I've finished up, or drop me an email to request me to prioritize the rest of these pictures. | ||||
