Operation Secret Squirrel, Petie 3rd, Callsign Doom-31, Desert Storm, B-52G Livery (Semi-Fictional)

In the early hours of January 16th, 1991 7 B-52Gs launched fr om Barksdale AFB in Louisiana in complete secrecy to fire the first shots of Operation Desert Storm, using highly classified Conventional Air-Launched Cruise Missiles (CALCMs) against high priority targets in Iraq. The mission would remain classified for a year after the operation.

After 35 1/2 hours and 14,000 air miles, all 7 aircraft returned safely to Barksdale, completing the longest strategic bombing mission in history and marking the first time that bombers had taken off from the continental United States to strike targets halfway around the globe and return to their home station.

This livery represents a semi-fictional recreation of Petie 3rd, the lead aircraft in the strike package. Unfortunately, the reg numbers are inaccurately located due to limitations in the livery. Thanks  to all the hard work of ggrewe, Awacs_bandog, NRG-Vampire, waterman, Scoop, and schorch71 for getting us wh ere we are in the lua files.
