Nose section on display at Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum. It is painted in the three tone SEA camouflage pattern with a gloss black underside. The two piece radome of the B-52D is visible, as are the small windows above the cockpit and square window to the rear. Flying out of Andersen AFB on a 5,400 mile round trip or from Kadena and U-Tapao AB, B-52s with the Big Belly modification logged a large number of sorties during Op Arc Light and Linebacker. This aircraft flew from all three bases during the Vietnam War. It wears the SAC and 4133rd Bomb Wing (P) "Black Barons" emblem.
