Yay, Second Air Force!!! And this airplane was stationed not far from where we live down at Barksdale AFB. In fact, it's still there, I think--but it was later renamed.

Good photo of the way the BUFF was built. I think that bunch of raised-head rivets is an area that was modified over the years and countersunk rivets eliminated to strengthen the structure. The B-52 has always been worked hard and structure suffered when they were used at low-level.

Yes, every airplane wrinkles just a little differently in that area. What most people who fly don't know is that some Boeing jetliners also have these wrinkles on them, just not as pronounced as the B-52. Our airplanes used to be in NMF and the wrinkles were easy to see after a fresh buffing job, especially behind the wing on the 757.

They used to fly over our house on a refueling track with a KC-135 nearly every day in the 1960s...….

Thanks, friends--but don't look at that camouflage very closely! It is undercoat for more paint....
