The markings on the side of a B-52 are the national markings, the bomb wing letters, the fiscal year number and the building sequence number. (Sometimes a command designation appears on the tail also.) Most B-52 H that are still in service have a number like 60-0008. - This means that it was built in 1960 and was #0008 in building sequence for the USAF that year. They will also carry a large LA meaning they belong to 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale AFB, OR a large MT meaning they belong to 5th Bomb wing at Minot AFB. - As far as I know they currently operate 57 and 36 B-52 aircraft respectively .- -As in all things military there are lots of changes and nothing is ever "written in stone" so take this explanation as 'normal for now' rather than hard and fast fact.
