(For those who are lazy, the Bone beats the Buff by 30%.) Either way, dumb idea. Why don't we just launch swarms of drone armament and have a couple AWACS for C2? We don't need no steenkin planes!

On the Arsenal Plane, the pilot’s seat will swivel a full 360 degrees and will come with a white Persian cat as standard equipment.

Actually the B-1R concept would work well for this. It already included a rotary AMRAAM launcher carrying 40 missiles. It could also fly at F-22 speeds. A little realized fact is that the B-1 has more ordinance capacity than a B-52.
I’m sure this proposal is a lot lamer and more expensive though...

Brilliant idea. Build a system that the threat has already has the ability to take out at long range.

Ordnance? My pal the Army JAG officer refers to himself as an Ordinance technician. Says it works better for picking up sweeties than telling them he's an Army lawyer.
