Boeing is saying a big happy birthday to the youngest member of the US Air Force's B-52 Stratofortress fleet which was delivered from its Wichita facilty a half-century ago. The H-model bomber - 61-040 - was assigned to Minot AFB, North Dakota, and remains in active service. Here it is earlier in its life:

Because I linger on the mailing list of a number of logistics companies, I still receive the odd truck and trailer releases. Still, they occasionally yield some gems like this series of pictures from Dutch heavy haulage firm Van der Vlist, which shows the company moving a beautifully restored Fokker F-27 to a position of prominence at a logistics park that occupies the site of the former Fokker factory near Schiphol. (And if anyone cares, that appears to be a rather nice MAN TG-X heavy haulage prime mover too).
