Boeing B-52D Stratofortress


Again, the landing gear caught my interest — four two-wheel gear emerging from the fuselage. Doesn't look too stable to me but I guess it works. You might also notice the wavy pattern in the side of the fuselage. I was told that is metal fatigue — which I assume means this baby is not going to be flown again.
