I'm not going to hold anything against you Lanc, but you like WW2 French Bombers, so ultimately your view doesn't mean anything. The B-58 looks cool although the Vulcan looks even better!

Saco, MAINE!!!!

Why should a bomber need to look good? Now flying at night and not wanting to be seen on radar thy all look a bit ugly.

But then the B-52 will still be flying untill they fall out of the sky

Agreed and radar doesn't bring out the best in most planes, the all look like ugly blobs or blimps that move. A bit like French bombers in a way ...

Saco, MAINE!!!!

I never said that it is a pritty airplane, only it will be around for a long time. I think that all this stelth and low radar cross section stuff has its limits, we are pricing ourselves out of an airforce
