Gator52 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 My understanding is that Big Belly did not alter the size of the bomb bay, but consisted of high density racks. Aside from the racks, I don’t think a B-52F bomb bay would look much different from any other B-52 variant. Jonah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikar Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 During the war I saw a lot of "D models launching every day. I wasn't in aircraft maintenance but I think aboui the only difference would be found with the engine podsand maybe a couple under belly antennas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
