This is the now-permanently-stationary B-52 bomber stationed just inside the north gate of the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA). From the stories I've heard it was flown in in the 1980's and landed on I-25, and with the help of some large trucks it was transported across the valley to where it now sits. I decided to visit it and take some pictures today at sunset after having to go to the hospital due to the illness shared to me by my fabulous grandparents.

Love those old B52s. The size must be awesome! I think your story is accurate except that may have been maneuvered there in the 1960s rather than the 1980s.
