A B-52 crashed and burned at Anderson AFB, Guam yesterday morning, at about 8:15 A.M.. The entire crew survived. Apparently it was from Minot AFB in North Dakota. There are about 10 B-52Hs in storage at "the boneyard" to choose from that could be restored to flying condition in order to replace it.
If I wasn't technically inept, I would post a link!
