How long can our guys be expected to hold the line with these ancient
airplanes?

Well, when each generation seems to cost 10 times as much as the previous
generation, I question how long until the Air Force consists of one
multi-role fighter bomber, one attack aircraft, one tanker, an AWACS, and
85 B-52s.




A far as "bang for the buck" the B-52 is the best airplane
the Air Force ever purchased
