It is a small, relatively hidden park under the control of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority and features a retired B-52D Stratofortress, Air Force Serial Number 56-0687, from the Strategic Air Command. The aircraft was at one time assigned to the 306th Bomb Wing of the now defunct McCoy Air Force Base. The bomber was built in 1956 and retired 28 years later in 1984. Final flight was from its last unit of assignment, the 96th Bomb Wing at Dyess AFB in Abilene Texas, to the former McCoy AFB, now Orlando International Airport, on February 20, 1984. ()
