Time for the Friday Flyby,we will have a couple of extra pics as there will not be a Saturday Sortie tomorrow.

Tonight we have a few pics of the BUFF, or perhaps better known as the Boeing B-52 Superstratofortress. The B-52 has been flying in one form or another for over 60yrs and is expected to keep on flying for another 20 years or so. SO with out further ado on with the pics.

Of course we lead off with a head on pic.

Here is an interesting inflite view of the top of the B-52

And of course if we are going to look at the top how about the bottom as well

A cool pic of the boomers view of a B-52 as he rolls in to refuel

A another neat pic of the B-52 sporting a pair of Hound Dog stand off missles. (I did not see Elvis in the picture)

A little lightning to highlite this B-52 on the ramp

A B-52 on the ramp at Barksdale AFB in Louisanna in the standard PR pic of all the possible weapons available to the B-52

And to close out onites flyby here is Bob McCowns version of the above pic

Well y'all have a great weekend and week, I will be busy making a day trip to St. Louis tomorrow to check up on my Dad. So we will see you next week.
