Totally agree, although the market would be very limited, most probably USAF only, and how many air frames would they want / need ?. The B52 has been around all my life, and the way its being upgraded it looks as though it will see me out ! I actually went to see them take off from RAF Fairford during GW1 as I thought (and hoped) that I would never have to witness a fully loaded bomber take off on a war mission again from UK. Sadly wrong on that count, as history has proven. Wonderful old A/C though !
