How cheap is it to lose a B-52? I don’t dare try to put a price on the lives of the pilots and crew, but would ask that you please do the math for me - isn’t one B-2 more expensive to build than all the B-52s that were ever built?
Actually, you zoomed right into what I was getting at. The crew. You’re probably right about the cost of the machines.
Use the right tool for the job. The B-52 and B-2 are not interchangeable.
