This code covers various B-52G and B-52H aircraft used for SRAM test launches. The aircraft took off from a variety of bases and launched their missiles over the Atlantic off Cape Canaveral. The SRAM missiles were low altitude rockets and are included here mainly to complete the Cape Canaveral launch list. SRAM missiles were also launched by the FB-111 and later by the B-1B. B-52G 57-6518 was used for the 1971 Jul 22 flight at White Sands.
