Still, the jet's fuel lines, seals, tires and many other components that have been baking in the sun for close to a decade all needed to be carefully inspected and/or replaced before the jet could fly again.
Gaw. Don't we have a more friendly climate for storing these things?

I worked that pig in Minot...if I remember correctly it contributed to the fight in the skies over Iraq in 03 and Afghanistan in years thereafter...
Saw it in the boneyard (amarg) in '12

The B52 really needs to be re-engined. The current engines the B52 uses are gas hogs and dirty as shite. It needs engines like what the C-17 has. They've been talking about this since the 80s, can't believe it hasn't happened yet.
