B-52 locations

Post by NecronLord »

There's a squadron in Britain, anyone know where they're based? I could have sworn they went over my house about half an hour ago.

Somewhere in Ireland, I think. Not sure if that helps, though.

Crap, I know, but It has left my mind.

Dad was in England with the USAF a couple years back (his squadron was at RAF Mildenhall for a short time), and he went to this base for something.

Dangit, I'll let you know once I find out.

The B-52's are based at Fairford, in Gloucestershire. Don't know which other bases are operating these beasts, Fairford gets the more coverage, though.

Bossier City, LA is the main fueling area and they fly long sorties from their. It's the main east coast B-52 base.

Is that were Barksdale AFB is at?

I was thinking it was in Shreveport, or is that just near Bossier City?

My LA geography is somewhat lacking.
