Which pylon is associated with the B-52?

• A. SUU-67
• B. SUU-73
• C. BRU-71
• D. SUU-95

Answer: (A)

External stores mounting on aircraft use standardized suspension units. For the B-52, the typical wing-store mounting hardware is the SUU-67 suspension and handling unit. This pylon was designed to carry the heavy conventional ordnance carried by the bomber and has been the standard configuration for many years. The other pylons listed are different mounting systems used on other aircraft or in other mission setups, not the standard B-52 wing-store pylon. So the SUU-67 is the correct association with the B-52.
