This “BUFF” saw extensive service in Southeast Asia and was severely damaged by an enemy surface-to-air missile (SAM) on April 9, 1972. In Dec. 1972, after being repaired, it flew four additional missions over North Vietnam. The B-52 is equally as famous as the B-17 and can be considered the most successful bomber ever built! When the last B-1 and B-2 bombers are retired to the boneyard, there’ll be a B-52 there to pick up the crews.
