| This was the heyday of
SAC. The new B-52s wore their natural metal finished, accented
by the white anti-flash painted bellies to protect the crew from the
blast of nuclear weapons. The milky way stretched around the
nose. The SAC shield was on the left side, the bomb wing shield
on the right. |

These planes carry Hound Dog missiles, which were introduced with the
G model in 1961. However, the tall tail establishes that these
are earlier models, apparently retrofitted. |
