Default B-52 or B-25???

B-52? It was parked near a B-25. Dyslexic maybe? lol

There are both types of aircraft at the Darwin Aviation Museum.
The B-25 that you see in the pic has the tail section missing, it apparently ran out of fuel between Darwin and Adelaide during the war and landed wheels down, re-discovered about 20 years later and recovered.

The B-52 was given to the Museum by the US Air Force providing they could house it undercover, the NT government built the hanger if they could get the B-52, it all fell into place....
