Video: B-52 Carries Out Actual Combat Bombing Run

A rare video shows an actual combat bombing sortie carried out by the B-52 Stratofortress, a long-range, high-payload strategic jet bomber over an undisclosed location.


Remarkably, the B-52 has been in service for nearly 70 years, and although it has received many modernization upgrades over that time, it has never been on the fiscal or technological chopping block for replacement or discontinuation. It was an aircraft ahead of its time that continues to do what it was designed to do: carry heavy payloads long distances at extremely high altitudes.
