The B-52 of today may look the same as the B-52 of 50 years ago, but it
is
not the same airplane. It has outlasted several designs specifically
built
to replace it, including the B-1.


The B-1 is still in service.

I think they plan to retire it, though. Even the B-1 is still like using
Dewey's fleet against the Japanese.
