Noticed this B-52 parked at Payne Field, WA. Have no idea what model it is or what it is doing there. Might belong to a museum awaiting some work. Attachments:

Can't see the tail end. If its got 4 ea. 50 Cal. in the back its a G model, if it has a single 20mm its a H model. All the D and F models I think were chopped up at the Bone Yard.

it belongs to the restoration ctr here at paine field...it's a "G" model and was dropped off by the AF about 14 yrs ago when they retired all the "G's".....
she's supposed to go to the museum but is now disabled...(ie fuel lines pinched off)....

Not quite--the F's got chopped, as did most of the D's, but the D's also make up most of the BUFFs' "Museum Force" along with the G's. I used to be a member of the B-52 Association, even ditched class for a week to crash the 50th Birthday party, and have a list of every preserved StratoPig I'm working on seeing and checkin' off...
