Seven years after it was sent to the U.S. Air Force’s famed “boneyard” at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona, B-52H “Ghost Rider” has been reborn.

“It’s the first time we’ve ever brought any of the B-52s out of the boneyard,” said Col. Keith Schultz, a 6,500-hour veteran of B-52s who has flown many of the aging birds to that final roost but savored Friday’s flight resurrecting one to new life at Barksdale Air Force Base.

That would look superb sitting next to a number of British and US fast jets in similar all-black color schemes.

Okay, it's a helicopter refueling from a KC-130 and a beautiful shot.  Is the helicopter a H-60 variant?
