Old Dog Gets New Tricks
I’ve always thought in a not too serious way that when the last B-2 is in the bone yard the crew will be flown home in a B-52. Judging by the continuing upgrades to the remaining BUFFS this might end up being true
In the article from Air Force link the BUFF is now flying with the LITENING advanced targeting pod that is used for targeting, intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance. One thing else that I thought was amazing was the last buff was delivered in the early 60’s but it has the highest FMC (Fully Mission Capable Rate) of all three heavy bombers.
