You can restore anything. So what if a civilian owns a B-52 too. He can fly it, that's fine, but is a single bomber really a threat? Maybe to an under-equipped country, but outsode of that, no! A B-52 is a monster target for a jet jockey to play with. See my video on how quickly a badger bites the dust - I just noticed a tiny blip too when I wasn't even looking for it - 30 seconds later, it is plumeting to the ground!

The point is, I think the US is over-reacting on tearing up its old aircraft.
