U.S. Air Force Just Resurrected a 60-Year-Old B-52 Bomber from its 'Boneyard' to Fight Another...

My old unit- I was back shop NDI from 1988-1999. We had A10s and B52s were added around 1995. We were dual role certified and the mission was pretty cool. We keep trying to replace these planes with faster and sleeker models and they never seems to quite push them out.

Thank you, my friend LTC (Join to see) for posting. I concur with your assessment that is probably cost effective [assuming supply and maintenance capabilities are sufficient to maintain B-52's] that extending the active life of Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II's and resurrect more Boeing B-52 Stratofortress long range bombers.
Thank you for mentioning me, my friend Maj Marty Hogan

I think I saw some duck tape on the plane! Joking aside, smart move - excellent platform that can deliver literally tons of munitions.
