From June 1965 to August 1973, B-52's operating from Kadena Air Base, Okinawa; Anderson Air Force Base, Guam and Utapao Royal Thai Naval Airfield, Thailand flew over 126,000 combat missions in Southeast Asia. Flying out of Utapao Royal Thai Naval Airfield in southeast Thailand, the crew of 'Diamond Lil' shot down a MiG northeast of Hanoi during 'Linebacker II' action on Christmas eve 1972. Now stored and maintained at the Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, the aircraft is dedicated to the men and women of Strategic Air Command who flew and maintained the B-52D throughout its 26-year history in the command.
Boeing B-52D Stratofortress Designed to meet an Air Materiel Command requirement for a long-range, strategic bomber, the B-52 Stratofortress was first flown on April 15, 1952. First envisioned as a straight wing, six turboprop aircraft, the B-52 underwent a number of design changes before becoming the swept-wing, eight turbojet aircraft it is today. Originally built for Cold War era "deterrence" missions, this aircraft is capable of carrying nuclear weapons but in actual combat has only dropped conventional munitions. Its long service career has included Vietnam, the Persian Gulf and Afghanistan and Iraq, and it is expected to continue serving until at least 2040.
Corgi's 1:144 scale B-52s are surprisingly large and heavy, weighing in at almost three pounds. Each model includes a heavily constructed all metal display-stand for in-flight display. The series includes most production variants, from early versions with large tail fins and pivoting tail machine gun turrets to the later B-52H, with its clipped tail fin and 20mm Vulcan cannons. The engine nacelles contain both intake and exhaust details, and the cockpit windscreen is masterfully integrated. The center landing gear is keyed to provide easy configuration for ground display with a set of wing tip gear for balance.
