Very important point. The obvious problem with unmanned aircraft is the lack of a seat for the pilot.

B-52: 1955-2060 (atleast)

Enough said.

I wonder why if the B-52 can still do its mission, why we don’t simply build new ones, same with the A-10.

We would also have to rebuild the factory. Not impossible, just an added expense ... and then you have a 1960s heavy bomber and a 1970s close support bomber.

What we need is a Congress and a military bureaucracy that can get its act together ... and KEEP its act together ... so that our industry can design, build, and field new weapons and weapon systems before they're obsolete. Politically Correct groupthink leads to pointing fingers at the so-called "military industrial complex". That's BS. The problems begin with 525 morons and anti-patriots on Capitol Hill.

That’s scary to think of 100 year old planes.
