From Wikipedia
The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber. The B-52 was designed and built by Boeing, which has continued to provide support and upgrades. It has been operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since the 1950s. The bomber is capable of carrying up to 70,000 pounds (32,000 kg) of weapons,[4] and has a typical combat range of more than 8,800 miles (14,080 km) with aerial refueling.[5]
Beginning with the successful contract bid in June 1946, the B-52 design evolved from a straight wing aircraft powered by six turboprop engines to the final prototype YB-52 with eight turbojet engines and swept wings. The B-52 took its maiden flight in April 1952. Built to carry nuclear weapons for Cold War-era deterrence missions, the B-52 Stratofortress replaced the Convair B-36. A veteran of several wars, the B-52 has dropped only conventional munitions in combat. The B-52's official name Stratofortress is rarely used; informally, the aircraft has become commonly referred to as the BUFF (Big Ugly Fat Fucker).[6][Note 1]
The B-52 has been in active service with the USAF since 1955. As of 2012, 85 were in active service with nine in reserve. The bombers flew under the Strategic Air Command (SAC) until it was inactivated in 1992 and its aircraft absorbed into the Air Combat Command (ACC); in 2010 all B-52 Stratofortresses were transferred from the ACC to the new Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC). Superior performance at high subsonic speeds and relatively low operating costs have kept the B-52 in service despite the advent of later, more advanced aircraft, including the canceled Mach 3 B-70 Valkyrie, the variable-geometry B-1 Lancer, and the stealth B-2 Spirit. The B-52 completed fifty years of continuous service with its original operator in 2005. After being upgraded between 2013 and 2015, it is expected to serve into the 2040s.[Note 2]

@Dllama4
Huh...maybe I should, after I finish my Platinum build though, I've been postponeing that thing for too long
You should give it an upgrade! :)
@WEAPONSMITH
DB? also the underlings chat is dead, it was just a satirical chat room that played on the name of the master builders chat.
@Supercraft888 oh
@RealQcan
9 months ago, a long, LONG time ago, before hinge rotators, a time where weapons just came out for mobile, where du leaves could only be adjusted by increments of 0.5!!! Tis a dark time
@Supercraft888 oh lol
@RealQcan
This was a long time ago, this was back when I was still a silver.
The wings seem a little big and the engines are really spread out...... maybe just my point of view.
Now that I'm looking at the top down view, the nose kinda looks like a...ummm... something I really can't say on this site
Thanks
@Dalton02
Frankie and I could try!
Can SRs X-15 fit under the wing
@Supercraft888 lol
@FrankieB
I like how you'd has more up votes and min has more downloads, lol
@Supercraft888 now it is almost at 200
Holy crap, this is my most downloaded plane ever at the time of this message!!! 141 downloads!!!
@Razor228
It's ummm, a unique shape for a boat, also the cockpit is actually 2 parts, part1 being the functional parts that FrankieB made and the casing I made.
@Supercraft888 I'm making my own B52 using the B52 cockpit you uploaded. Making it into a missile boat (boats are my specialty) I give you credit on the final version. Here is my unfinished boat https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/kv3P4O/B52-Missile-Boat Any feedback on it. (Tail is getting made)
You know what's funny? This plane is so big that I can barely use my own creation...
I think I might take a break, making this plane almost broke me
@Supercraft888 np
@ShatteredAviation

@Supercraft888 ok
@Supercraft888
