A 60 year old bomber planned to fly another 30-40 years
Iconic!
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13639_3-57...-going-strong/ If the airframes are still robust and the military value is positive, then why not save plenty and plenty of money for new bombers with smaller payloads, and stay with this old proven horse? But I wonder how the ratio of maintenance hours versus flying hours has shifted until today. Anyone knowing that?
