A retired B-52 bomber is back after 12 years in Air Force boneyard

US Air Force/Master Sgt. Ted Daigle A B-52H Stratofortress called Wise Guy has started flying from Tinker Air Force Base after Programmed Depot Maintenance, as it prepares to return to active service. The bomber was retired in 2008 after more than 17,000 flight hours, but after a B-52 crashed in 2016, Wise Guy was selected to return and bring the fleet back to 76 aircraft. Wise Guy , the B-52H Stratofortress bomber tail number 60-034, is preparing to return to service with the 5th Bomb Wing at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota. The aircraft was filmed flying from Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, where the aircraft had arrived on April 1, 2020, to undergo programmed depot maintenance at the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex. The PDM is the final part of a three-phase process to regenerate the aircraft and make it able to return back to active service as a conventional weapons-only long range heavy bomber.
