From 72nd Air Base Wing Public Affairs, US Air Force Mar 26, 2021, 8:17 AM

Nearly a year after arriving at the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex, the second B-52H Stratofortress bomber to be resurrected from the Arizona desert has left to rejoin the Air Force fleet.

“Wise Guy,” a B-52 bomber pulled from storage in the Arizona desert and restored, flew to Minot Air Force Base to re-enter service this month.

Wise Guy” joins “Ghost Rider,” which was the first B-52 to be regenerated, and brings the Air Force B-52 fleet up to full strength at 76 total aircraft.
