Landing, regenerating to war status, and taking off a Cold War B-52
from a highway was about as likely as the 1903 Wright Flyer going to
the moon.


Once a "hot" nuclear-type war started, we weren't going to *have* any
more B-52s or other strategic bombers. They were all going to be going
on one-way trips to Siberia and points west, or were going to be various
kinds of vapor.

Fighter-interceptors and smaller cargo planes? Lots of reasons to plan
for dispersing those.

Like the Europeans and Taiwanese are doing right now, for example.
