How is it they expect to keep the 52s’ flying into the 2050s... (100 years after some of them were built) but folks are talking about retiring the B1s?
Also, how is it we got 700 B 52s built in 10 years, but only have 21 B2’s built in 13 years?
Seriously folks... tech is great, but why can’t we make weapon systems en masse anymore??

Augustine's Law Number XVI: In the year 2054, the entire defense budget will purchase just one aircraft. This aircraft will have to be shared by the Air Force and Navy 3-1/2 days each per week except for leap year, when it will be made available to the Marines for the extra day.
Still wondering????

As for the B-2 buy, purely politics.
