Description
FOUR BUFFs: B-52G-120-BW, 59-2592, “The Pink Panther,” 92 SAW, Fairchild AFB, WA. This jet was painted in the standard SIOP scheme, with special Pink Panther markings for the 1971 SAC Bomb Comp added in honor of the recently released and extremely popular Peter Sellers movie of the same name. Please note that although the movie Pink Panther was really pink, on this jet it was painted a pale violet color; B-52H-125-BW, 60-0001, “Memphis Belle IV,” 2nd Wing flagship, Barksdale AFB, LA, 1996; B-52G-100-BW, 58-0189, “Special Kay,” 379 BW, 1980 RAF Bomb Comp. Note the bomb striking the RAF roundel on the right side of the nose. The artwork on this jet was exceptionally unusual for a USAF aircraft in 1980!; B-52G-80-BW, 57-6485, “The Big Stick,” 97 BW. This jet wears the standard SAC SIOP scheme, but with the FS 36118 dark gray overpaint of the nose and front fuselage. This set was inspired by my good friend Dan Rees, who passed away earlier this year. Shoot for the stars, buddy!
