Notes:

Formerly with the 5 BW (Minot AFB), this BUFF is now with Barksdale's 93 BW. Interesting side note: this particular aircraft was one of only four H-models modified to carry the 'Giant Fish' atmospheric radiation detection module. The other three were 60-0024, 60-0033 and 60-0052. On this day, she was the B-52 demonstration aircraft.

"38 Special" wasn't wearing the tail code, but from what I can find, she's another 93rd BS bird (tail code BD)

It was disappointing that 'Fifi' didn't fly during the Defenders of Liberty 2011 show, but just seeing her back on the circuit was good enough
