EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a United States Air Force (USAF) Boeing B-52D Stratofortress from the 96th Bombardment Wing, as it was transferred to the Military Aircraft Storage and Disposition Center (MASDC) in 1982, with the registration number BC285. The B-52D, a variant of the iconic Stratofortress bomber, was manufactured in 1956 and served the USAF for over two decades. By the late 1970s and early 1980s, the B-52D was being phased out in favor of more modern aircraft. In this image, taken circa 1980, the B-52D sits proudly on the tarmac, its powerful engines and distinctive wing design a testament to the technological prowess of the time. The 96th Bombardment Wing, based at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, was known for its strategic bombing capabilities, and the B-52D was a key component of its arsenal. As the sun sets in the background, the shadows cast by the wings and the glint of the engine cowlings add depth and texture to the scene. The B-52D, now retired from service, remains an important part of aviation history, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era in military aviation." "Peter Butt, an accomplished aviation photographer, captured this image, showcasing his skill and passion for aviation photography. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of aviation or military history, and its high-resolution, rights-managed format ensures that it can be used for aeronautical, educational, or research purposes. The photograph is also a reminder of the important role that the USAF and its aircraft, such as the B-52D, play in the transportation sector and in maintaining global security.
