Someone made a War Thunder skin based on this. It’s on the B17 in the game, though.

Awesome, my fiancee’s grandfather worked with B-52s back in the day.

And just to add to that, it’s expected to stay in service until 2045, nearly 90 years after it was introduced.

The TU-160 would have looked nicer.

Further fun fact: Many B-52 pilots today are flying the exact same aircraft their parents or grandparents flew decades before.

Fun fact: the tail gun on the B-52 was later removed after a friendly fire incident where a HARM missile locked onto the gun’s radar and seriously damaged the aircraft (both the crew and the plane survived).

Also contributing was the fact that the gun had only ever shot down two planes, and the odds of that happening again dwindled as missile technology got better.
