We lived in Darwin in 79-81 when my dad was in the RAAF. The US Airforce had these stationed in Darwin along with the KC-135 refuellers and they would be out during the day on exercise. A sight to see indeed when they were landing and taking off. The wingspan on the B52's are huge.

Theres a war muesum in Darwin which has a B52 on display. Excuse the picture quality as these were taken about 10 years ago on my .3mp camera :
