The B1's are being retired and the aircraft it was supposed to replace is still soldiering on, oh the irony

 

[droopy]

So they will keep the B-52, B-2 and in the future the B-21 ?

 

[NebrHogger]

They'd just as well keep the B-52. The bugs are pretty well worked out of the design. SW

 

[Picanha]

They are not completely retired just 17 get mothballed. And four out of them receive a type 2000 storage.
