I heard of reports of B-52 pilot discovering by aircraft serial number that his grandfather flew the very same aircraft. It would be possible I guess, but I have not seen any actual story to verify it.

The B-52 doing nuclear missions?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhtttttttt!

Unless it's carrying a Cloaking Device, the B-52 couldn't get to its target now in a nuclear environment in a Month of Sundays. It's radar signature must be off the chain!

"Now if you take a big plane like a 52, see..."

Teh Won's cancellation of the B-3 will have serious effects for strategic air down the line.

Best,

Not likely as the tall tail 52s which the Grand daddy flew are either in a few museums or scrapped.The short tails are the only ones flying as far as I know.

I know of some father-son and uncle-nephew (and apparently there is now an uncle-niece) pairs that flew in B-52s, but only one confirmed case where it was the same aircraft. Like somebody else pointed out - the original B-52s are either scrapped, in the boneyard, or museum pieces.
