TUCSON, Ariz. — A B-52H bomber built in the early 1960s and put into retirement in an U.S. Air Force "boneyard" in the Arizona desert over 10 years ago is returning to service.

A crew on Tuesday flew the plane nicknamed "Wise Guy" to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana from Tucson where it had been in a sprawling aircraft storage area at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.

If you ever visit Tucson, it's worth an afternoon to visit the Air and Space Museum and see all the different types of aircraft from WW II to present. You can even climb inside some of the WW II bombers and see the brutally tight and dangerous spaces those guys had to deal with. Everything is angles and steel. The 'Boneyard' is harder to get into you need to get tickets in advance but also well worth it.

In OKC we always watched the Confederate air force and their collection of WWI and WWII planes at Tinker Air base and at Will Rogers Airport.

They don't make too many airplanes out of steel. It makes it hard to fly!
