Castle Air Museum: Boeing B-52D "Stratofortress"
Ah, the famous B-52 bomber. For awhile, it was the largest and heaviest aircraft in existence. In person, it's certainly &@#!$% huge; it was difficult to find a way to fit the entire airplane into the camera frame! (Used heavily in the Vietnam War, with later models still in use today. This version was made between 1956 and 1983, a remarkable span of time. The mark of an airplane that must do its job remarkably well...)
