Brings back memories of when I was a radar fire control system analyst for old “Buff.” I worked on the D and G models.

In England (Lakenheath) I worked on F-100s and at Carswell I was a civilian ART Tech on F105 TSII fighters.

Those were good planes and could do a hell of a lot of damage.

I only know of 2 aircraft that really “earned their stripes” through the ages: The C-47 and the B-52.

The standard loadout for this plane includes...

That is a list of munitions that the B-52 can carry. She can not carry them all at once. You must pick and chose depending on the mission.

Would not surprise me if they keep the B-52 flying until 2100 at least. Except for electronics, aircraft technology has generally plateaued from the early 1960’s to now.

Dunno for sure, might be the B-36, but the B-52 could have been capable of carrying these crowd pleasers:
