B-52 Escapes 'The Boneyard'
A 55-year-old B-52 Stratofortress that had been mothballed has been returned to service.
The plane had formerly been consigned to 'the boneyard', otherwise known as the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, a repository for aging aircraft at Davis Monthan Air Force Base.
