Sounds like a pretty big deal. At the very least, they ought to make sure everything is operational.

158 TOTAL strategic bomber force.
62 B1-B Lancer, 20 B2A Spirits, 76 B-52H.
Maybe there will be a pair or a flight of 4 up 24/7, or even a single, but it is not going to be like the 50's and 60's.

With the silos (assuming they still exist) and the boomers we have why is this necessary?

EMP attack from the two polar orbit NORK satellites near the first frost? NORK destroyed in retaliation. China doesn’t mourn it’s pawn. Sits back, watches and waits.

Great news, I worked with the B52s when I was at Blytheville AFB in the 80s.

The USAF just announced last month that the B-52 was being considered to be withdrawn from the nuclear mission leaving only only the B-2s as nuclear capable.

Without a major improvement in standoff weapons, the BUFF is not a survivable platform for deep penetration.

Waste of money. The Boomers are more than enough. Modern SAMs are going to make it hell for the BUFFs.

That might explain the 1,000 recalled pilots.

The Buffs got badly hammered even with 70 SAM tech over Vietnam. It’s going to be worse today.

Air Force preparing to put nuclear-armed bombers back on 24-hour ready-to-fly alert: report
We really need to put these bombers back into operation since we have so many Crazy Leaders around the globe right now.
We like President Trump since the constitution says that the POTUS needs to protect us from any outside dangers.
Liberals do not even read the constitution plus they do not even care about our Constitution.

I grew up near Bangor, Maine in the late 50s/early 60s. I can remember we’d all watch those big BUFFs taking off from Dow AFB. I think Dow had something like a 12,000’ runway. When they flew those sorties out of there, especially at night, it was a sight to behold from the end of the runway just off the base.
I can remember that we were at Acadia National Park one weekend and happen to watch em come in off the ocean at tree-top level. I guess they’d go out over the Atlantic and then come back in at tree-top level testing ground air defense radar systems. Seeing a dozen Buffs in formation coming in to our coast a tree-top level throttled up with miles of jet trail behind em...well, it’s one of those impressive things in life that you just never forget.

Looks like I need to watch “By Dawn’s Early Light” again. Came out in 1990. Powers Booth and James Earl Jones and Martin Landau. Awesome movie.
