General Ronald E. Keys, Air Combat Command commander, said the Air
Force is looking to get a next-generation long-range bomber by
2018. The command is funded for a new bomber, he said during his
presentation Sept. 26 at the Air Force Association's Air & Space
Conference and Technology Exposition in Washington D.C.
Meanwhile, the current bomber fleet, including this B-52
Stratofortress, sitting on the ramp at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., will
continue to be a mainstay in the war on terrorism. (U.S. Air
