B-52H Stratofortress tail number 61-0009, nicknamed "Damage Inc. II," arrived at the Boeing facility near Tinker Air Force Base Jan. 22, 2022, where it serve as an integration model to test how well new technologies and current and future modifications will integrate with B-52 aircraft. The B-52 is undergoing its biggest modernization effort in its history. In addition to new engines, the B-52 is also upgrading its 1960’s core radar to a new Active Electronically Scanned Array system similar to those found in modern fighter aircraft. It also just completed a major communications upgrade and will soon get a new Tactical Data Link capability. (Air Force photo by April McDonald)
