And the current models being used were made in the 1960s

yea but the modern B52's have nothing in common with the original 1952 ones

I'm... not saying they do?

The last one rolled off the assembly line around 1962

And they're looking to keep them flying, in service, until 2050 👌

no but its like saying the porsche 911 has been in use since 1963, yes its been used that long but with major alterations

they've been very heavily retrofitted

even the wings and engines are changed

Tf

eh, not really. 911s are still rolling off the assembly line today. If someone showed me a Ford Model T still trundling around, even with new wheels and even an entirely new engine block, I'd still be pretty chuffed about that

I mean the whole point of trying to keep it in service is via modernising them again

yes but a 2018 911 shares nothing in common whatsoever with a 1963 911

presumably because it's still more cost-eff

yes, that's the point

anyway

presumably because it's still most cost effective than replacing the B-52 with a new model

mostly because its cheaper than designing a new plane

literally anyone who does not "prove" they are POC isn't given an answer to a question unless they pay

What's POC?

Because by answering questions, the sjws are doing "mental labour" for free
