The B-52 is a long-range, heavy bomber that is capable of carrying nuclear or conventional ordnance with worldwide precision navigation capability. The WST is a training device that simulates flight in a B-52 to help aircrews learn the proper techniques and handling of the aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photos/Airman 1st Class Alyssa M. Akers)
