Not a stealth aircraft then?

Definitely not Peter

Here's a couple more I took this time as two of them where leaving the UK for the States last Saturday as the flew up the Daventry Military Corridor.
These where taken as they flew at 10,000 feet over Sywell -



The other B-52's in the detachment took a different route home Northwards over Scotland. It was great to get another BUFF fix though even if they where at 10,000 feet!!

A Rolls Royce press release from a few days ago announced that the US has selected their F130 engine for the B52. 650 engines to be bought but are being made in the USA.

Will that be 8 or 4 per plane?
