not while they've got aircraft at Davis-Monthan that can be pulled out fettled... although a new set of all the latest updates to avionics etc will have to be found for this one ...

Do they have any suitable B-52s at Davis-Monthan? I expect not.

I think the link Tim posted answered that question , I think theres a dozen or so H models in the boneyard that could be used as attrition replacements , others have been guillotined as part of the various SALT nucelar weapon limitation treaties...

According to that link, they've now got a dozen left that could be returned to flight.......will take 12 months or so like the last time (and how many $$$$!)
