Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is an American
long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber. The B-52 was designed and
built by Boeing, which has continued to provide support and upgrades. It has
been operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since the 1950s. The bomber
is capable of carrying up to 70,000 pounds (32,000 kg ) of weapons,[5]
and has a typical combat range of more than 8,800 miles (14,080 km ) without aerial
refueling.[6]”
