Air Force baws, What makes the B-52 still viable as a military air craft? surely, we have better technology, materials, or designs by now, right?

I'm really blown away by this fact: The B-52 has been in service since 1955, 63 years. that is a longer period of time than from the first powered flight(1903) to the introduction of the B-52 to service, 52 years.

Greatest Generation vs Millennials

And the majority of pilots of the B-52 are the older aged millennials in the 30-36 year age range.

God damnit I’m sorry to derail but you realize that both Iraq and Afghanistan have been fought on the backs of millennials right? A lot of the dumb shite you old bastards pin on millennials is actually the generation below them (high school and college kids now).

I’m triggered like a good millennial
