Today I received a DoD Advisory announcing that the Air Force will be announcing the contract award of the long range bomber contract this afternoon at 5:15 PM eastern standard time.
I expect this will be a fairly expensive contract. We have been fighting against islamic radicals for some time and have had limited requirements for long range bombers - conventional or stealth technology. Russia has been stepping up its game and Iran has been rattling swords for some time. What are your thoughts on the need for a new long rang bomber contract either to revamp the existing fleet or replace all or part of it?

Awesome, I think its overdue since strategic reach has not been the flavor of the month for many years. One of my dad's tours in Vietnam was as a tail gunner aboard B-52s. It is kind of funny to see a B-52 in a museum and then several steps over, still on the flight line.
