Message Number 2Date Posted: 18 July 2005, 7:53:26 AM I think there will be no replacement for the aging aircraft. Rather that they will be phased out of service. Or the USAF will have a competition to replace it but that is likely. Or they will continue to update the aircraft to allow it to last longer.
From 1914 since, airpower has become essential for any field of battle. To Vietnam, to Desert Storm airpower has become dominate in the battlefield. May airpower live on in times of war!

Message Number 3Date Posted: 18 July 2005, 7:58:54 PM Sadly in a nuclear arms reduction agreement the U.S. has to destroy all combat ready models of the B-52 except for the B-52H, and these B-52H's are expected to be retired soon.
