Innovative 2nd MXG Airmen load new ideas to B-52

Airmen from the 2nd Maintenance Group weapons standardization prepare to load a strategic rotary launcher and an air launch cruise missile pylon to a B-52H Stratofortress on Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Aug. 20. The 1760 Internal Weapons Bay Upgrade allows the B-52 to carry up to eight J-series weapons inside its bomb bay and 16 on external pylons for a total of 24. Later increments will also add the capability to house Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles and Miniature Air-Launched Decoys internally as well.
