This is the only photo I have showing the airplane nose. Hoping someone can identify it. I took the photo for the unique nose art but did not make a note of the aircraft. It is obviously a more modern aircraft but I can't discern which one; B-52? C-17? B-1?

Haha. Nicely done. The nose just didn't quite look like a U.S. made aircraft. Since the photo had been taken so long ago I figured it might have been de-commissioned or the name changed. Thanks guys. Would not have guessed. I need to brush up on my airplane searches! Cheers!
