The name of the game is also air power and what a punch the B52 has ! Even more weapons systems on a aircraft that was already loaded and new offensive and defensive technology added to that old air frame.

Yes, finally. We should have done it 20 years ago when they had the opportunity, and we would have saved hundreds of millions by now. The CFM-56 used to replace the old J57s and TF-33s on KC-135s would have been a great fit and created logistic economies of scale we'll never see now.
