 While the B-52 is scheduled to fly until about 2040-2045 (nearly 90 years of career!), It should be remembered that this aircraft enjoys a remarkable level of confidence from the USAF, Nothing at random.

Indeed, in practice, the B-52 proved to be the most capable, most effective of the three types of heavy bombers currently in use in the USAF (ie, B-52, B-1B, and B -2). Thus, in return for missions, the B-1B is estimated at 54%, compared with 30% for the B-2, and especially 81% for the B-52 over the period 2000-2001. If the B-1B flight time is $ 63,000, the B-52 flight time is $ 72,000, compared to the B-2 time of $ 135,000.
