This bomber is just old to keep going. The math is against it for sure.

Thank goodness the much younger B-52 is there to fill the gap.

The situation will be resolved when the MIC figures out the most expensive way to fix the problem.

Things like a modernization of the B-1B and acceleration of the B-21 at the same time.

Saw a B1B 1 time at Lake Martin toward the Dam. Looking south. It was a long way away, hard to tell. It was flying low and slow. Then, it just accelerated off and disappeared! It was amazing that something that big could go that fast, that quickly.

But having said that, supersonic bombers are unneeded and obsolete. Money should be spent elsewhere. An opinion....

Don’t worry - we can just pour money/debt on the problem.

Too old?

Okay.

Don’t send them to Davis-Monthan; sell them to the Israelis.
