The B-52 is going to end up flying for 100 years.

100 years. Just crazy.

They're getting new fuel efficient engines to replace the TF33 that has been in use since the 1960's.

From what I understand, it costs something like $2 million dollars to overhaul a TF33 engine. The B-52 has eight of them.
