[QUOTE="SDarkRage, post: 3620251, member: 3492"] The B-52’s flying now were all built in ‘60 and ‘61. If I recall correctly, the first 16 of the 60- models (60-001 to 60-016) we’re all B-52G models that were upconverted to B-52H models. Because of the SALT treaty all of the B-52G models had to be scrapped and broken (all the previous models, A-D were already decommissioned). They stopped producing B-52’s after the 61- models. I used to be a B-52 Avionics Tech. Was fun times. I truly hated those first upconverted models because they were all kinds of pieces together crap to get around the treaty. You’d read the tech orders and they’d say it has x and y of something, so you go look to troubleshoot and lo and behold it has neither. [/QUOTE]
