MigBuster 2,884 Posted March 5, 2008 Well I would buy more F-22s - that plane is the USAs main fighting edge. Its alright saying get loads of F-35s but a lot of countries around the world will have that soon. They need a new marketing slogan - how about the "Super Raptor" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Major Lee 18 Posted March 5, 2008 I recall seeing an article that mentioned that the USAF was going to refit the B-52 with high-bypass engines and fly them until 2040... Any current news on that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted March 7, 2008 They've been talking about B-52 reengining for literally decades now. However, the C-5 fleet's need was higher so they're doing that first. Yet the price is now $12bn on the LOW side of the estimates, and some are predicting it may run $18bn. To put 4 new engines on 100 planes! Ok, I think they're doing some cockpit renovations too, but still. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
