Ex USAF 52-0008, a rather rare and old bird. Later its task as a test aircraft was performed by a 'younger' B-52. Please note the many different mission marks on the right hand side of this aircraft. The blue badge is an individual aircraft marking and the one below the cockpit is the Air Force Flight Test Center badge.
