I think we only got 90 or so B-52s left, many of them were scraped and destroyed under the disarmament treaty we had with the Russians......

Yep, they were cut up. Alas.

I wonder how much it would cost to re-open a line to make an updated B-52. It coudn’t cost that much, if you bought them in quantity. It’s old tech, after all. Keep the airframe the same, add modern avionics and engines.

Order a thousand of them. That would be pretty sweet. Once you’ve finnished SEAD operations, Arc Light, Arc Light.
