The last new B-52H was delivered in 1963 but the B-52 continues to serve today and is likely to continue to do so for decades to come. The B-52 has evolved from a high altitude atom bomber as originally designed, to a high altitude bomb truck as deployed in Viet Nam to a modernized weapon system of today that can deliver tons of ordinance on target using smart bombs or un-guided dumb bombs. The new Minicraft B-52H represents the B-52 early in it s career as a unit of the elite Strategic Air Command atom bomb armed sentinel of the cold war.
