Not quite that many, if this is correct -- but more than enough.

So the B-52 can carry a maximum of either 51 or 45 munitions, depending on which pylon is mounted under the wings. However, the AGM-28 pylon is no longer used, so the B-52 currently carries on HSABs, limiting the external load to 18 bombs, or a total of 45 bombs.

Times like these we could use the Big Belly D which could carry 84 500 pounders in the bay and 24 750 pounders on the pylons. That's 60,000 pounds of ordinance, per airplane.

Where's the B-52D Big Belly variant when we need it? 104 500-lb'ers would do a world of hurt <VBG>
