The B-52, or BUFF, first flew in the 1950’s. It has been the backbone of our nation’s strategic force for decades. Conceived as a long-range nuclear bomber, it has evolved through the years into a convention warfare workhorse as well. It served with great distinction during the war in Southeast Asia, helping to break the resistance of North Vietnam to a peace settlement. It has also been a major contributor during the many conflicts in the Middle East. Although well beyond what should be considered a normal lifetime of a combat aircraft, the B-52 has continued to play a major role in our warfighting capability. The amazing fact is that it is expected to serve our nation’s needs for many years to come. Some say the last B-52 pilot hasn’t yet been born. Nowhere else can you find an aircraft that has contributed so much for so long to the defense of the United States. This is the story of one man’s life in aviation, centered on his involvement with the B-52. In many ways, he and the B-52 matured together.
