I've listed this article for peer review because it is a pretty good article which is looking like it could go through FAC soon. This is mainly a request for any last minutes polishing to it.

A few points:

There appears to be a bit of a gap in the Service modifications section covering the 70s and 80s - i.e. nothing covering the distinctive LLTV mods of the 70s , the cruise missile mods (including the effects of the SALT treatys) or the aircraft modified to lauch Harpoon.

The article talks about airborne alert duty and the accidents involving nuclear weapons that occured during this task. It would be helpful to talk about the end of such operations.

Its use as a launch platform for X-15 and such could be described in more detail.

Joe Baugher's website is used as a reference a lot. The use of this website as a WP:RS has been questioned before at the F-4 Phantom FAR. In addition, not all the websites used as references are correctly formatted - again this may be a sticking point if the article is taken to Featured Article.

Here's some things I see:

As long as this article is, splitting off a separate Design section seems like way to go.
Global Security and Vectorsite are self published works like Joe Baugher's site.
List publish dates in references if available.
Images should not be on left and right at the same vertical position. That can squeeze the text between and cause readability problems for users with low resolutions or large text. I'll fix some of this.
Boeing has offered to replace the B-52's engines times before. That should be mentioned if you can find a good source(s).

That's all I can think of at the moment. -Fnlayson (talk) 17:42, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
