The B52H looks set to carry on in service indefinitely.. .Makes one wonder if they shouldnt have kept the Gs as well or even the big bomb payload Ds.
Modern development is focussed on the B21 but given how useful the B52 (and in its day the Vulcan B52) is at providing long range massive payload delivery with room for lots of electronics, should the US and even the UK look.again at such a long range platform.
With all the progress in civil airliner development since the 1950s it ought to be possible to produce an aircraft at least as capable as a B52.
Or is it just easier to keep the BUFFs flying.
