Lucky Lady II is a United States Air ForceBoeing B-50 Superfortress that became the first airplane to circle the world nonstop. Its 1949 journey, assisted by in-flight refueling, lasted 94 hours and 1 minute. The plane later suffered an accident, and today only the fuselage is preserved.
1949: First circumnavigation of the world[edit]
The Lucky Lady II was a B-50 of the 43rd Bombardment Group, equipped with 12 .50-caliber (12.7mm) machine guns. For its circumnavigation mission, a fuel tank was added in the bomb bay for extra range. The mission required a double crew with three pilots, under the command of Capt. James Gallagher. The crews rotated in shifts of four to six hours.[1][2]

Bearing a total crew of 14, the aircraft started its round-the-world trip at 12:21 p.m. on February 26, 1949. It took off from Carswell Air Force Base near Fort Worth, Texas, and headed east toward the Atlantic Ocean.
After flying 23,452 mi (37,742 km), the aircraft passed the control tower back at Carswell on March 2 at 10:22 am, marking the end of the circumnavigation, and landed there at 10:31 a.m. after having been in the air for 94 hours and one minute, landing two minutes before the estimated time of arrival calculated at take-off.[1]
En route, the aircraft was refueled four times by KB-29M Superfortresses,[3] near Lajes Air Base in the Azores, Dhahran Airfield in Saudi Arabia, Clark Air Base in the Philippines, and Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii, using the soon-to-be obsolete grappled-line looped-hose technique.
The aircraft flew at altitudes between 10,000 to 20,000 ft (3,000 to 6,100 m) and completed the trip around the world at an average ground speed of 249 mph (401 km/h; 216 kn).[1]
General Curtis LeMay, Strategic Air Command's commanding general, was on hand to greet Lucky Lady II upon its arrival, together with dignitaries including Secretary of the Air ForceW. Stuart Symington, Air Force Chief of Staff General Hoyt S. Vandenberg, and Major General Roger M. Ramey, commanding general of the Eighth Air Force. LeMay said the mission showed that the Air Force could send bombers from the United States to 'any place in the world that required the atomic bomb'.[1] He also said mid-air refueling could also be used for fighter aircraft. Symington noted that aerial refueling would 'turn medium bombers into inter-continental bombers'.[1]
The aircraft's crew were each awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and were honored by the National Aeronautic Association with its annual Mackay Trophy, recognizing the outstanding flight of the year and by the Air Force Association with its Air Age Trophy.[2]

Another B-50 named Global Queen had taken off on February 25 with the same mission, but was forced to land at Lajes Air Base in the Azores due to an engine fire.[1] Altogether, five B-50As were lined up by LeMay for the task in anticipation that at least one would succeed, and only four weeks were given to prepare the crews and logistics.[4]
Other Lucky Ladys[edit]
Lucky Lady II was the name of a B-17 of the 338th Bomb Squadron, which was shot down near Tielrode, Belgium, on 30 July 1943.
Lucky Lady II was also one of three similarly named aircraft, each of which was part of a historic circumnavigation on behalf of the United States Air Force:
Lucky Lady I was one of three Boeing B-29 Superfortresses that attempted a round-the-world trip in July–August 1948, flying from and back to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona. One B-29 crashed in the Arabian Sea.[2]
Lucky Lady I, commanded by First Lieutenant A.M. Neal, together with Gas Gobbler, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel R.W. Kline, completed the 20,000 mi (32,000 km; 17,000 nmi) flight in 15 days, after making eight stops along the way and flying for 103 hours and 50 minutes.[2]
Lucky Lady III was one of three Boeing B-52 Stratofortresses that made the circumnavigation in January 1957 as part of Operation Power Flite, flying from Castle Air Force Base in California and completing the 24,325 mi (39,147 km; 21,138 nmi) flight in 45 hours and 19 minutes (at an average ground speed of 536 mph (863 km/h; 466 kn)) with the assistance of aerial refueling from KC-97 Stratofreighters. Eight years after Lady II, Lady III made the trip around the world in under half the time required by Lucky Lady II.[2]
Current status[edit]
The fuselage of the aircraft, designated B-50A-5BO 46-0010, is on display at Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, California.[5]

Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe Slot Game Review
Looking for a Lucky Lady? Try to resist her charms in this famous Novomatic bestseller slot game. Allow Lucky Lady to seduce you and explore her wonderful and mysterious world, packed to the brim with everything that brings good luck!
First presented on 25th September 2003 Lucky Lady's Charm quickly became the staple game of Novomatic slot machines all around the world. The original game had nine lines. Enormous success led the developers to present the second version, Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe, in January 2010. Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe is made with 10 lines, richer in sounds and visual look, keeping all the charms of the original version. Other than a number of lines, the original Lucky Lady's Charm and the Deluxe version are exactly the same in terms of play and rules.
This 5 reel, 10 paylines slot game is extremely fun and rewarding to play. It keeps the player intrigued, while he helps the Lucky Lady to find a fortune teller represented by the bonus game. A variety of luck-related symbols on the reels help our lovely lady to bring the player good fortune. There are Rabbit Paws, Horseshoes, Four-leaf-clovers, Golden Coins, Ladybugs, Crystal Balls and the Lucky Lady.
Lucky Lady acts as wild and substitutes all the other symbols except scatter (Crystal Ball). A full line of Lucky Ladies will award the player the maximum win per line – 9000x coins. The Lucky Lady also acts as a multiplayer icon by doubling the win whenever she substitutes in a winning combination.
Lucky Lady's Charm
Crystal Ball is the scatter symbol. Three or more crystal balls anywhere on the reels will activate the bonus feature - 15 free spins with x3 multiplier. When player activates the bonus, first the scatter win is paid (which can be up to x5000 if all five scatters are on the reels) then free spins will follow. During free spins, all wins are multiplied by x3. Crystal Balls keep appearing during bonus rounds and re-triggering the free spins bonus feature, so, in principle, there is no limit to the number of bonus rounds the player can win. Number of scatters on the reels does not affect the number of spins awarded.
Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe is a very flexible slot game. Suitable both to casual players and high-rollers. Players wanting to play all paylines on every spin can do so from the minimum of one credit per line (10 credits for a full spin) up to 100 credits per line, with maximum bet of 1000 credits for a full spin.

Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe is considered to be a highly volatile slot. Players will find that the bonus round does not come as often as one hopes for. But when it does - it pays big time. Some record winnings can be seen online with 100s of free spins retriggering one after another. The game is more suitable for a patient player, with good bankroll management, who can withstand losses and wait for that massive payout. The Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe has the highest return to player (RTP) percentage of 97.10%, making it the highest RTP of all Novomatic slots.
