Considering that the first two digits of a US military aircraft's registration number is the fiscal year it was bought, we are celebrating a 27 year old B-2, a 34 year old B1B and a 61 year old B-52, all refueled by a pair of 60 year old KC-135s. Who says we don't get our money's worth out of these assets?
You're making it sound like they don't cost any money to operate and more importantly MAINTAIN.
Nope. Not my intention. New or old, training, operation and maintenance costs are present. My point is that we have made a great investment in these platforms, and in these specific cases, we certainly have got our money's worth. I could say the same about the A-10, E-3 and others, but the topic of this article is the three bombers.
Worth every cent.
Don't feed the trolls. I'm replying at the root level because this applies to multiple comments here *and* across multiple answers or articles.
I love this forum's brilliant humor, the on-target replies, and its high SNR.
Dis(miss) the trolls with downarrows, ignoring them and hiding their bait. History has shown they'll get discouraged and move on to find some other forum to infect, putting us out of their misery. ;-)
Now, back to your regularly scheduled program, already in progress.

SkyAware123 did not even disagree; instead he pointed out a detail that legitimately deserves its due.
There was a time in this country when reasonable people could disagree without becoming the enemy. Not sure who is the troll here.

Yep. Yer a hate monger troll...I bet you even have read "Cat in the Hat"......

I'm, in general, dropping an L-bomb (love) to remind people *to remind others* not to feed the trolls. If you agree, please do the same, because, respectfully, that's how healthy, friendly society works, although trolls disagree. If R>2.0, its message will grow exponentially, to borrow the virus growth model reference with which we're so familiar lately.
Your "time in this country" time period you're referring to is temporary. We'll get beyond it, but only with enough work, consciousness, and awareness to get us all to that next level. However, trolls being trolls, they're apt to keep taking us off our marks, thus my adding my reminder to *not feed them,* ad infinitum. Do the reminding here, and also in all of your other friendly, healthy, human forums, too. IMHO, a lot of us need to be carrying this banner.
It's circular and recursive, making it really hard to explain, even in educated, polite company. ;-)
Everything is changing, change is hard, I *did* read "TCITH," it has not affected my ability to engage in friendly-but-spirited-yet-respectful-disagreements.
I once again return you to your regularly scheduled program, still in progress.
