This restored B-52 is part of the collections of the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History because it dropped a hydrogen bomb on Bikini Atoll during Operation Redwing Cherokee in May 1956, and later took part in additional nuclear testing during Operation Dominic in 1962.

Delivered to the USAF in 1950, this B-45C spent much of its active life bailed to Pratt & Whitney being used for engine testing. Finally retired in 1971, it was flown to the USAF Museum for display.This slide shows the markings when the museum acquired the a/c. It is currently on display inside the museum.
