B-52: An Role Model for Steady Employment for 50+ Years July 03 2015

A salute to the B-52H.

Not many people (or things) can achieve steady employment for 50+ years.

The B-52 has seen newer, sexier, faster, stealthier machines come and seen them retired.

There are pilots flying this thing today whose grandfathers flew it too when it was a new plane. The way things are looking, some of these current pilots will have sons who will fly it, too.
