Boeing Metamorphosis: B-52 & KC-135

The Boeing B-52 is the most legendary airplane in the USAF inventory. I will be presenting again this year at AirVenture (the annual Oshkosh airshow). The times are 11:30 am on Thursday, 7/24/2025 (Skyscape Theater in the Museum building) and again at 11:30 am on Friday, 7/25/2025 in the Forum, Stage 7. If possible, I hope you can attend. This is an updated version of my keynote presentation at the Stratofortress Assn Convention in Oklahoma City in Sept 2024. We will follow the B-52 from the factory and into its first war (Vietnam) and its greatest battle -- the Christmas Bombings of 1972. Caption: Aircrew member awaiting rescue. USAF photograph.
