Built in 1941, i was the 17th 4000 class built by ALCO. During my service I traveled 1,052,072 miles before my retirement in 1959.

Today was the memorial for my Uncle who tragically passed away in a freak accident 2 weeks ago.

Here’s the video of his B-52 flyover. Nothing close to what he deserved for how good of a person he was, but a pretty cool experience.

8-aircraft formation led by a B-52 flew over Washington, D.C., and the Great American State Fair. The lead B-52 was flanked by two F-15 Eagles, two F-35C Lightning IIs, and two F/A-18 Super Hornets, while a second B-52 trailed the formation.

🔥 EPIC! A pair of US Air Force B-52 Stratofortresses, flanked by several American fighter jets, just performed a flyover here in Washington, DC

47 is giving America the best birthday celebration ever 🇺🇸

There are supposed to be TONS of flyovers here in the days leading up to July 4th 🔥

A bit of freedom over @NASA HQ 🇺🇸

Eight US military aircraft just roared over the National Mall. The flyover featured two B-52 Stratofortresses alongside the F-15 Eagle, F/A-18 Super Hornet, and F-35C Lightning II.

An eight-aircraft formation led by the mighty B-52 Stratofortress just flew over Washington D.C. and the Great American State Fair. The B-52 was flanked by two F-15 Eagles, two F-35 C Lightning II’s, and two F/A-18 Super Hornets with a second B-52 tailing the formation.

It's never too late to soar above new heights.

Where it all began!

"The long rifle was the great weapon of its day.
Today this B-52 is the long rifle of the air age."

Fly high…

Not the ED B-52 involved in the accident yesterday, but we wanted to give some BUFF love. Here’s a photo set of some of our favorite photos we’ve captured over the years. Rest in peace to the Edwards 8 crew members and prayers to their family and friends. 🫡 🙏 🇺🇸

Photos captured at Nellis AFB, NV.

@BoeingB52BUFF Do you think they will pull a BUFF from the boneyard to replace this one?

This rare and historic event immortalized the Boeing B-52H Stratofortress, tail number 61-023, after it survived one of the most extraordinary flight emergencies in aviation history. During a test flight, the bomber encountered extreme turbulence that tore off most of its vertical stabilizer, a critical component responsible for maintaining stability and directional control. Despite the devastating damage, the crew managed to keep the aircraft afloat by capitalizing on the B-52's inherently stable design and carefully managing engine thrust to counteract yaw forces. What should have ended in disaster instead proved to be a testament to remarkable airmanship, as the crew safely landed the damaged bomber at Blytheville Air Force Base on January 10, 1964. After extensive repairs, the aircraft returned to service, making this incident an enduring example of the Stratofortress's legendary durability and the skill, composition, and teamwork of the aviators who flew it

Never Forget

[B-52 "BUFF" @BoeingB52BUFF]

We’re getting new engines!!

The thrust in the new Rolls Royce engines is similar, but they are 20-30% more fuel efficient, allowing for longer flights between refueling
