I presume that somebody who proposes retiring a failed '60s technology is a Luddite. While we're at it, let's ground all our B-52s

Ahem. Only the airframe of the B-52 is 50's tech. The Buff was DESIGNED FROM DAY ONE to be upgraded in a modular fashion: It may have been built in the late fifties, but most of its' electronics are late 80's at the oldest. . .

Maybe we should. We've got 75 B-52s left. Has anyone explored alternatives recently?
