Nice retrospective and photos. The big, bad B-52 that won the First Gulf War and was an icon of the Vietnam War. It's still in service. I read a story about a B-52 pilot who was the grandson of one of the first B-52 pilots. That's amazing. My first serious girlfriend's father was a SAC colonel. He gave me a B-52 tour once (I was in the military then). No ride though.
They made the last B-52 in 1962. In 2015 dollars it cost $70 million. The B-2 by comparison, costs $3 billion a pop.
