B-52 memorial monument and bench

The B-52 Memorial at the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio

There are four benches around the Memorial dedicated to:

  • Arc Light-Young Tiger
  • B-52 Gunners
  • Southwest Asia Operations
  • The Cold War 1947-1991
Contributions support maintaining static display B-52s such as B-52D 55-0677 at the Yankee Air Force Museum in Belleville, Michigan and archiving historic B-52 information in a permanent museum location.

The People Behind the B-52

We bring together all those who have been or are associated with the BUF—designers and builders, aircrew, maintainers, enthusiasts — to exchange memories. We try to help old buddies find each other -- anything it takes to keep alive the history of the weapon known in its early days as “America’s Long Rifle.”
