I'm looking for an EB-52 megafortress from the Dale Brown novels, not a B-52 stratofortress.

The EB-52 Megafortress is a fictitious Bomber in most of the Dale Brown books. This aircraft is a variant of the B-52 Stratofortress, used by the U.S Air Force. The Megafortress first appears in Dale Brown's Flight of the Old Dog and is expanded and upgraded in all his later books. The Megafortress has all the latest technology (such as an advanced on-board computer and detailed HUD) and carries all the latest weapons, such as the AIM-7 Sparrow, AIM-9 Sidewinder, AIM-120 AMRAAM, Air-to-surface missiles, Anti-ship missiles, Anti-tank guided missiles and other advanced missiles such as plasma weapons. In later books, the eight engines of the B-52A-H are replaced by four larger and more powerful turbofans (incidentally, this is an upgrade that has been considered for the real-world B-52H fleet).

In Flight of the Old Dog, the aircraft is designated the B-52I. The EB-52 designation is first used in Sky Masters.

In the real world, the EB-52H, or B-52J is a planned upgrade to the USAF's current fleet of Stratofortresses, allowing them to act as "stand-off jammers," with jamming pods replacing the B-52's wing-mounted external fuel tanks.
