The Lyrics
This is about one of the greatest bombers ever built- the B-52, aka BUFF (Big Ugly Fat Fellow/F--ker)!!! It has been around almost 60 years (since 1952). It first served as a SAC nuke bomber flying 24 hrs a day and then on to Vietnam as conventional bomber- love that huge D-model tail!!! Then on to the G-model that served in ODS and finally the surviving H-models. Able to carry nukes, cruise missiles on rotary launchers, or 43 tons of plain old iron bombs, the B-52 is a master of carpet-bombing. Winged defender that showers targets with "Steel Rain".
The mighty B-52
six decades flyin’
SAC to Vietnam, Persian Gulf too
There’s no denyin’
BUFF’s still flyin’
Winged defender as SAC planned it
To be USSR-bound
Nuke load would’ve prove deadly
Soviets feared it would be hard to shoot down
The mighty B-52
six decades flyin’
Still survivin’
All fear you
All fear you
All fear you
Your carpet-bombing glory
43 tons of iron bombs from the air
Nothin’ can stand up to your fury
Longest-serving bomber in history
Excellent longevity
The mighty B-52
six decades flyin’
(well into the 21st century)
six decades flyin’
SAC to Vietnam, Persian Gulf too
There’s no denyin’
BUFF’s still flyin’
Winged defender as SAC planned it
To be USSR-bound
Nuke load would’ve prove deadly
Soviets feared it would be hard to shoot down
The mighty B-52
six decades flyin’
Still survivin’
All fear you
All fear you
All fear you
Your carpet-bombing glory
43 tons of iron bombs from the air
Nothin’ can stand up to your fury
Longest-serving bomber in history
Excellent longevity
The mighty B-52
six decades flyin’
(well into the 21st century)

Great parody Rob! If I remember correctly, I think that Air Force One was partly built out of a B-52. ;-) 555! for this great parody! About my favorite Military plane of all time!! :-)
The modern AFW a/c are Boeing VC-25As- 747-200B mods... expect a new plane by 2017 (most likely a 747-8 or Dreamliner conversion) EADS is not going to bid with the A380 as it is foreign.
Three cheers for the BUFF! Interesting note: the B-52 also had a tail gun for a time, either quad .50s or a 20mm M61 gatling gun.
Hmmm.... Makes me wonder, which is bigger, a Boeing VC-25As- 747-200B or a B-52 aircraft?
The Air Force build a special guillotine to chop the wings off of retired B-52's. Parked them out in the desert where the Russians could watch with their satellites. There's one on display at Whiteman AFB in Missouri. Very impressive. And I was impressed that the Dominican Republic was still flying 40 year old P-51 Mustangs in 1983.
