Keep them as fast AA missile barges, to help low-payload F-35’s and F-22’s.
The B-1, like the Spitfire, is one of those exquisitely rare aircraft that has an exceptional aesthetic coupled with its lethality. It looks like it is flying even when idle on the runway, and seeing it in flight will leave a lifetime impression.
AND Trump will VETO anything he does not like.
But they will shut down the government, you say?
Trump will win BIGLY on that one!
“The far left commie DEMS now in charge of funding all programs need that money to implement socialism and Medicare for anyone alive on US soil. “
Depends where they will be built.
The B-1 75,000/lb internal bomb load, 50,000 external

The B-21 I have not found out the bomb load.
Does the TFITP use Bill the Cat as its logo?
I understand that the B1 has a larger bomb load than the B52 (correct me if I am wrong).
There are 66 B1s in service vs 75 B52s.
I am told that the B1 does not carry nukes. Is that true?
.... Why not use the B1 Fleet to replace the B52S?
Sell a half dozen B-1s and B-52s to Israel. Hell, sell them a half dozen B-1 stealth bombers.
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??
What are the chances the dem controlled house will fully support 100% funding for The Wall?
The B-1.
The B-21.
The B-1B is the most capable bomber in the world today. And they are nowhere near worn out.
I cannot imagine a decomm of all of them.
It’ll be 20 years before the B-21 is operational.
Plus they’ll probably only be funded for 15 airframes plus spares.
The B-1 should be safe for a long while.
