hmm, RAF don't really have any strategic bombers left. the last Vulcan has howled for the last time. And the no, the Tornado does not count.

how many B-52 does the USAF still have? under 100 i think? might have big planes, but a thousand Lancasters can still fuck things up on a pretty much unparalleled level
>>
>>28074297

There's only one Lancaster left that can still fly IIRC.

I saw it at an airshow years ago, they're still fucking huge even for today.
>>
>>28074331
i think there are two, one in the UK and one in Canada. and if we count things they have today, yeah RAF is pretty much out.

somewhat unrelated, always wondered what could be achieved with a lot, like 2000+ lot of light/small/old aircraft, like small Cessnas some vintage C-47s and so on

>this

I had a b17 fly over my house at a low altitude, and its just so fucking hard to imagine 100 let alone 1000 of them all up at once.

now with precision munitions well new have 3 billion dollars of b17s and ordinance up at once when a b2 will suffice for cheaper
