The Air Force Has a B-52J Bomber Problem

‘New’ B-52J Bomber Afflicted with Delays and Extra Costs for Its Engine and Radar Modernization Plan: This is not what the U.S. Air Force wanted.



I am talking about the future B-52J and its annoying schedule slips and cost overruns. The historic bomber’s upgrade will not be ready until 2033, three years later than the Air Force planned.

The radar update is not going well, and the engine replacement plan has encountered difficulties, too. These problems have a government watchdog agency concerned that the B-52J has become a money pit.

Let’s look closer to see if all the trouble is worth it.

The 737 is being successfully used for the Navy's antisub missions - would it be that difficult to make a long range bomber out of it too?
