Air Force Eyes Replacing B-52 Engines
 

Posted By: Oriana Pawlyk June 5, 2017

The Air Force has set aside $10 million in its fiscal 2018 budget request for risk-reduction efforts in support of a potential future B-52 bomber re-engining program.

If approved, the move could be a crucial first step to boost the service life of the B-52 Stratofortress long-range bomber — already pushing more than 60 years in its lifespan.

Re-engine the B-52 again?  (It was done between the "G" & "H" model variants).
