“Stratofortress”. These days, of course, the B-52 would be called the “Cyberfortress”.
During the first Gulf War, one USAF B-52 pilot was chuffed to be flying the very same B-52 that his father flew in Vietnam.
The last B-52 was built in 1962. The youngest in the air is therefore 52 years old. All possible with or without an Australian car industry.
The time period from the Wright brothers first powered flight to the B-52 is shorter than from the B-52’s first flight until now.
