Notes:

A single pass on the opening day of Aero India 2019 by this B-52 of 23rd BS “Barons” was all one got – but it was so well worth it! As one of 104 B-52H built, this airframe is close to sixty years and still going strong. The service life of the B-52H is expected to continue into the 2030s. It is capable of carrying the most diverse range of nuclear and conventional weapons. Only the ‘H’ model remains in the USAF, assigned to Air Force Global Strike Command.
