Bombers: Pentagon official visits aerospace execs to discuss bomber planes - latimes.com

Northrop Grumman still wants to build long range stealthy bombers.

Now Boeing and Lockheed also want to build long range stealthy bombers.

Seems that the US Air Force thinks it's time for an upgrade.

The US Air Force now has fifty year old B-52's, thirty year old B-1s, and 20 B-2s -  and want a newer set of bombers.

This is a potential $55 billion contract.
