"Scout 99" departing for Barksdale AFB in Louisiana. Nice to catch one of these before they undergo engine refit in the coming years!

This Buff comes in for the Aviation Nation Air Show 2006. It is operated by the 2nd BW, 11th BS out of Barksdale AFB, LA. The huge wingspan and the mechanism of the flaps is quite evident in this picture. This Buff also visited RIAT 2006 at RAF Fairford in July.

From 2nd BW, Barksdale AFB, Louisiana, with additional "11th BS" marks.

A close up of the nose. The port side of most US military aircraft has a 'Technical Data Block' and here it states the serial is 60-011 and that the aircraft is a B-52H-135-BW. The pilot is Lt Col Daniel A Kosin while the Louisiana outline (where the aircraft was based) gives the crew chiefs as SSGTs J. Vega and K. Smith. The blue badge is of the 2d Bomb Wing, the oldest bomb group in the US Air Force and the motto, in Latin 'Libertatem Defendimus', translates as 'We defend liberty'.

One B-52 above my head on short final and the next one in the overhead for RWY 21R, I was so happy to catch both in one frame.
