An F-15 Strike Eagle can carry more bomb load than a B-17.Faster, too, I'll bet.
Reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode where some 1960's era soldiers are magically transported back to the Little Big Horn where they share Custer's fate. Their sergeant back in the twentieth century says something like, "Too bad they didn't take a tank with them."

Good episode of TZ. The advancements in aircraft in the past 70 years are truly amazing - tanks too!!

How about the Kirk Douglas flick where an atomic carrier with f14s goes through a time warp and is in position to stop the Japanese on December 7th, 1941. The scene where jets smoke a couple of Zekes is priceless.
