I'll have to ask the aviator types
what a 21st century Whale would
be equiped with.

Paul

1. Global Positioning System (GPS) based navigation.
2. A state-of-the-art autopilot, not sure if the original Whales even had
an autopilot.

Not too practical as a bomber with today's modern air defenses, but it might
make a nice standoff weapon launching platform. Put one or two of those Air
Force AGM-86 cruise missiles in the bomb bay and away you go.
