I’ll Be Damned, These Boneyard B-52s Can Still Fly

Aged bomber gets airborne after years in the desert

The Air Force is working to get a B-52 bomber back into service after it sat collecting dust for seven years at the famous Boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona.

On Feb. 13, the B-52H—with the serial number 61–0007—left the desert for its new home with the 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. This is the first time the Air Force has “regenerated” a plane from the Boneyard back to active duty.
