Frontal view of the B-52 at the Memorial Park.

B-52 Memorial Park is located within the Orlando International Airport just off of the Beachline Expressway near runway 18L. It is a small, relatively hidden park featuring a retired B-52D Stratofortress #56-0687 from the Strategic Air Command of the now defunct McCoy Air Force Base. The Bomber was built in 1956 and retired 28 years later in 1984. Final flight was from Carswell AFB Ft. Worth TX, to Orlando FL on February 20th 1984. A nest of Yellowjacket wasps live under the rear gun turret of the jet.
