This B-52D saw extensive combat in Vietnam. On 9 April 1972 it was hit by a SA-2 surface to air missile and was badly damaged, but was repaired and flew another four missions. It was flown to the museum in 1978 and is now on display in the Southeast Asia Gallery. This photo is copyright © Bob Thomas, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
