Kevin Walsh, President and CEO of the Yankee Air Museum at Willow Run Airport lead the massive sixday effort back in September 2020 to move their gigantic, beautiful Boeing B52D Stratofortress, aircraft #550677, to its new location at the future site of the Roush Aeronautics Center. According to writer Barry Levine, "This earlyblock B52D, rolled off Boeing’s production line in Wichita, Kansas as U.S Air Force serial number 550677 during the spring of 1957. She saw extensive service in the Vietnam War, reportedly flying more than 600 missions. She operated from several bases during this period, including Anderson Air Force Base on Guam, UTapao Royal Thai Navy Air Base in Thailand, and Kadena Air Base, on Okinawa. She also served at Dyess Air Force Base nest Abilene, Texas. The U.S. Air Force retired the old bomber in 1983, with her final flight being to the museum’s base at Willow Run Airport on October 26th that year." I got a chance to see her in her new location today.
