I don't know how the top bomber could go to any other aircraft than the B-52. In service for 55 years and counting. 55 years. Think about that. IIRC, there have been fathers and sons pilot the B-52. It's service life will likely approach 70 years before it's retired. A remarkable legacy. Top Dog, in my opinion.
