From www.bbc.co.uk
It is understood US B-52 heavy bombers have been sent to Diego Garcia, a British Territory in the Indian Ocean, and would be involved in bombing of targets in Afghanistan.
B-52s are capable of travelling thousands of miles without refuelling and were widely used in the 1991 campaign against Iraq.
I think this aircraft will hit the 75th anniversary from first flight, what does everyone think?
