Boeing B-52 Stratofortress (57-6477)

I was researching the history of the 42nd Bombardment Wing at Loring when I inadvertently stumbled across a photo of an aircraft I thought I'd photographed many, many years ago. The photo I came across on the web had been taken at AMARC in 2014, and there wasn't much left of the aircraft shown in that pic, but the USAF reg sounded familiar so I went digging into my old print pics. And I found what I was looking for .....
The pic I found was somewhat faded. I scanned it on my tabletop scanner and then briefly considered converting it to B & W. But if I had converted it, the camo paint would only have appeared in grayscale, and I've always liked this shot because the camo scheme is so diverse. So I used PS to resurrect the color a bit and here is the result.
This photo print, clicked in the 80s, captured 57-6477, a B-52G that had been converted to a JB-52G by the time I snapped this shot, on the maintenance ramp at Loring AFB, Maine (42nd Bombardment Wing - Heavy).
Only a few short years after I took this picture, 57-6477 went to the boneyard. In September of 1990, twenty-nine years ago last month, it went to Davis Monthan. The photo I stumbled across earlier today (the one taken in 2014) showed the dismembered remnants of this once-powerful warbird. I prefer to remember it as seen in my decades-old picture here.
