It was the B-52B that entered service in the U.S. Strategic Air Command as a long-range nuclear bomber. Per unit cost of the B-52B was $ 14.43 million, and that of the B52H in 1998 was $53.4 million. Each B-52Gs cost approximately $ 30 million. Total 744 B52s were built by Boeing Co.

The 17 B-1 bombers were retired from a fleet of 62, which the Air Force said had been overworked by long years of providing on-call air support to troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Many of the aircraft had severe structural fatigue, especially at the wing-pivot points, because the jets were flying high and slow, instead of low and fast with wings
