Muscle flexer
With that huge brake chute billowing behind her and full flap deployed, giant B-52H Stratofortress 61-0006/LA, call-sign 'Doom 61' returns to Terra Firma during TDY at RAF Fairford
Flying with the 96thBS/2BW at Barksdale AFB in Louisiana she's named 'Old Soldier II'
With Fiscal Year (19)61 preceding the rest of her allocated military serial, she's approaching six decades of service and with the latest study into re-engining them looking more likely to come to fruition and their obvious 'big stick' persona, the likelihood of the Hundred odd B-52 airframes still being around in two, three or maybe four decades is entirely feasible
