Boeing B-52 Stratofortress

The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress was a swept-wing subsonic bomber powered by eight turbojet engines in use by the United States Air Force. Originally built for Cold War deterrence missions, the B-52 has only been used to drop non-nuclear payloads, which can weigh up to 70,000 pounds.

In 1959, under the guise of Himalayan Air Services, the CIA took a B-52 fresh from the production line and moved it to Burma as part of a paramilitary support effort in response to Langston Overholt III's request. Unfortunately, President Eisenhower denied the CIA permission to mobilize.
