GE is Most Qualified to Re-Engine the B-52 Fleet

RallyPoint News — Mon, 03 Feb 2020 12:13:27 -0500

The criticality of the B-52 mission demands commercially proven power. Only GE brings commercially proven offerings and the experience of three US Air Force re-enginings. GE will deliver the lowest program risk, highest mission readiness, and lowest cost of operation for the USAF’s B-52 program.

In an environment of air superiority, the B-52 can drop many large bombs containing smart cluster bombs. Each large bomb is anticipated to destroy around 40 vehicles at a time. That is a tremendous amount of firepower. The B-52 can destroy enemy divisions at a time.

The BUFF is a beast! I'm amazed at their service life. We should buy more.

I think GE might have finally turned the corner as far as it's stock value and negative outlook is concerned.

Look to Pratt & Whitney for engines and General Electric for light bulbs.

Are there desktop-size models of these planes available to collectors?
