The first B-52 (Serial Number 52-8711) was delivered to SAC on 29 June 1955.

The last B-52 (Serial Number 61-0040) was delivered to SAC on 26 October 1962.

So the BUFF is an old airplane.

Is there anybody flying on a B-52 that was born before the plane was built?

(btw designed with slide rules, drawn with pencil on vellum, and the BOM was in 3-ring binders, LOL)
