Steamport Southport Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 They certainly didn't find a B-52 bomber on the Moon and you shouldn't spread groundless rumours like that. It was a World War 2 bomber. That photo was a B29 Super Fortress that had been abandoned in the Arctic after a crash landing. Unfortunately it was burnt in the rescue attempt. They actually tried to repair it and fly it out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kee_Bird Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Same plane. The Sunday Sport admitted it back in the day. It was even featured in a few documentaries. It's certainly not a B52. This is a B52. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_B-52_Stratofortress Can't believe that was thirty years ago though.
