Best Answer

Around 180,000 lbs empty. Loaded, around 250,000 lbs average.

Update: 250,000 lbs would only be 70,000 lbs of fuel. A standard ramp load for a B-52G in the 1980s was 150,000 lbs of fuel putting the aircraft at 330,000 lbs. A nuclear alert B-52G loaded with maximum fuel, 12 cruise missiles, 4 B61 nuclear gravity bombs, and 8 Short Range Attack Missiles (SRAMs) mounted on a rotary launcher had a gross weight of 492,000 lbs.
