Hopefully the B-1 or B-2 bombers, but they are too expensive. The B-52, though a slow plane still serves its job well. Im not sure whats happening to the B-52's now, but it would be sad to see them go. In my opinion they will still be sufficient for the modern and near future battle.

B-1 and B-2s are not meant to replace the B-52 Under current air force projections they plan to keep the B-52 in service until 2032. |

Damn.....2032?? The B-52's been around a loong time as it is. I'm surprised they've made it this far...they still do delivery quite a punch though.

I have heard that every piece of equipment on the B-52 has been changed over the years.

This is the evidence of an extremely successful design. Quite frankly I see nothing in the world that can replace this thing. Who knows... they might be around for so long that they may actually end up being UAVs. lol |

A 20 years old aircraft has no part on it that it left the factory with. All this is due to aging / stressed material. Even unused spare parts in stock have an expiration date (like food). After expiration these parts have to be certified new or they go to the scrap yard. | |
