    Like they haven't been trying to mothball them for at least 15 years. Why fly an effective 18 million dollar when it can be replaced by a less effective 250 million dollar F-35.

    I miss them flying low level simulated bombing runs on a power plant here and then egressing low level over the rolling hills, what a sight!
