The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, an iconic long-range strategic bomber, has served the U.S. Air Force since 1952 and remains operational today. Nicknamed “BUFF” (Big Ugly Fat Fella), the B-52 is powered by eight Pratt & Whitney J57-P-1WA turbojet engines, each producing 11,400 pounds of thrust, achieving a maximum speed of 630 mph and a range of 8,800 miles. Its 185-foot wingspan and ability to carry 70,000 pounds of weapons, including nuclear and conventional ordnance, made it a Cold War cornerstone. The B-52 saw action in Vietnam, Desert Storm, and Afghanistan, adapting to evolving threats with upgraded avionics and precision-guided munitions.
These pen blanks are crafted from the authentic fuselage of B-52B Stratofortress, tail number 53-0394, known as Lucky Lady III, preserving its historic legacy. Perfect for collectors, veterans, or aviation enthusiasts, they transform this legendary aircraft into a unique writing instrument.
Tail Number 53-0394 History: Delivered in 1955, 53-0394, named Lucky Lady III, led Operation Power Flite in January 1957, becoming the first jet to circle the globe nonstop in 45 hours, 19 minutes, covering 24,325 miles with in-flight refueling. Commanded by Lt. Col. James H. Morris, it earned the 1957 Mackay Trophy and a Life magazine cover. Later renamed “City of El Paso,” it was retired to the National Museum of the United States Air Force and preserved by Walter Soplata in 1984.
