Diamond Lil




Here's some pictures from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. This B-52D was sitting along the entrance road into the Academy. In my time in the Air Force I don't think I ever had an opportunity to see a B-52 take off or land. I've seen them flying over before and they would do some target practice at the range, but never when I was there. I think there was one on static display at Chanute, too.  Take a minute and read the plaque. This is one of two B-52D's to have a confirmed MIG kill in Vietnam.
