They say the mother of the last B-52 pilot is not born yet.

I have a question, according to Flight International, USAF is still operating 77 B-52. Are engines for them still being built, or are they overhauling old engines to keep the fleet running?

What happened to the programme to re-engine them (CFM56 as I recall)?

The youngest B-52 will turn 50 in 2012...
