The B-52 Stratofortress, more popularly known as “BUFF”, is one of the oldest military aircraft still in service today, and is still one of the most impressive. The first Boeing B-52 became operational on June 29th, 1955 at Castle Air Force Base in California. Since then, B-52s have played a key role from the Cold War and the Vietnam War, to Desert Storm and the Global War on Terror. It is a long-range heavy bomber capable of flying at high subsonic speeds at altitudes of up to 50,000 feet and can carry nuclear or precision-guided conventional ordnance with worldwide precision navigation capability while boasting an unrefueled combat range in excess of 8,800 miles. The B-52 has made an indelible mark on American pop culture, being shown and referenced in Hollywood movies as well as having a band and hairstyle named after it. Today, there are plans in place to keep the aircraft (with design maintained and updated throughout the years) in service until the 2040s. (U.S. Air Force graphic by Senior Airman Kevin Long)

The purpose of publishing this updated version April 11, 2024, on the AFGSC website and DVIDS was to provide corrections and clarity on some text statements that were written in the initial March 13 version. The changes made to the first version that are reflected in this second version are as follows. The end of the first sentence under “June – July 2023” was altered to combine it with the second, now showing, “…within AFGSC; begins combing…”; the word “PCB” in the headline title “PCB Identified & Mitigation Efforts Completed” was changed to “PCBs” to make the word plural and therefore more scientifically accurate; the date of “June 2024” was changed to “Summer 2024” for accuracy; the end half of the sentence under “June 2024” that said, “…a virtual pool of supplemental state and territory registries of cancer diagnoses.” Was replaced with, “…other cancer registries.” for accuracy and clarity; and lastly, the version date listed as “Current as of 13 March 2024” was changed to reflect the changes made between the initially released graphic and this revised version by having this statement be changed to say, “Current as of 20 March 2024”. The updates reflected in this second version (and now most current version) were requested by subject matter experts within the MCCS leadership team and were carried out with the guidance, outlined processes, and release authority of the AFGSC Public Affairs Office, and in alignment as required with the DoD Visual Information Style Guide; DoDI 5040.02, Visual Information (VI); DoDI 5040.07, Visual Information (VI) Productions; and AFI 35-101, Public Affairs Procedures.
