Two major approaches to bomber doctrine:  fly high and the air defense can't see you or get to you until it can (B-52;)  fly really low and the air defense can't see you or get you until it can  (B-1.)

Gen. Turgidson might disagree with your assessment of the B-52/B-1

Nothing could replace the B-58.  That plane was badass!

Not the B-70, either.

Wright-Patterson had one years ago.  Not sure if it's still there.

I spent a lot of time at the Museum when I was stationed there; haven't been back for a while, but current inventory still shows the Valkyrie in the R & D Gallery.
