This B-52G was part of the 42nd Bomber Wing at Loring Air Force Base in the U.S. state of Maine, but with the escalating conflict over Kuwait in 1990, some elements were transferred to the 4300th Provisional Bomb Wing. This unit operated out of Diego Garcia Island, located in the Indian Ocean, and took an active part in engaging Iraqi targets beginning in January 1991. As part of Operation Desert Storm, the B-52s flew numerous missions by day and by night, dropping more than 25,000 metric tons of bombs.
