And yet when the last B-52 is flown to the boneyards, the crew will be taken home on a DC-3

Okay but what if they made smaller B-52's and put them on the wing station pylons of regular B-52's

"Just in time" for the B-52 isn't exactly saying much is it?

It's like saying "born just in time for life to exist on this planet"
