{Look mom, no quoted text!!!!!  :-)  :-) -- Pete}
{Lots of stuff about an air superiority B-52 deleted}

	Sorry, I lied - I WILL post once more!!!

	Anyway, the idea of an "air-superiority B-52" sure sounds reasonable to 
me.  Just load it up with 20 or so HARM's (probably more), maybe a couple of 
submunition drones, and some other gizmos, and it just may work.

	For a couple of interesting stories on this, I'd suggest _The Flight of
the Old Dog_ and _Day of the Cheetah_ by Dale Brown.  I don't suggest these just
on the "military-fiction" genre - rather on the basis of how well stealth and
other high-tech equipment could work on such a venerable airframe.  To me, some
of the stuff in these books is quite possible; no doubt someone out west already
has something like this flying around at Edwards & Nellis.

	Forget the flames/replies, folks - I'm here for only 4 more days.  Will
have account at George Washington - I hope.....
