The B-52 at the top of this page – what's protruding from the bomb bay?

Thanks for anyone who can answer this (well, the B-52 is a historic!)

Boeing has celebrated 50 years since it delivered its last B-52 Stratofortress to the US Air Force.

And it is likely to still be in service as we approach 2045!! 80+ years! Extraordinary.

Boeing has celebrated 50 years since it delivered its last B-52 Stratofortress to the US Air Force.

Of 744 B-52s built between 1952 and 1962, H-model 61-040 was assigned to Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota where it remains in active service. It has logged more than 21,500 flight hours.

The USAF currently has 76 H-model B-52s in service, with two test aircraft at Edwards Air Force Base and the remaining aircraft at both Minot AFB and Barksdale AFB in Louisiana.

No, F5 just reloads the page (refresh) but if you’ve got a good adblocker (like I do) you’ll never see that B-52.

OK… does that disable my adblocker or something?

(no, I didn’t do that… as others have identified the details of the pic, I don’t need to and would rather not.)

I was just wondering what they were seeing.

I take it he means the forum page

Scroll to the top and press F5 until the B52 appears.

At the top of what page?

There is no link, pic, or any other such thing in your post.
