It is a new normal. Per HAF in coord with AFGSC, B-1s and B-2s are FBF/T-38 drops.
B-52s are AMF-F/AMF-S drops.
J-85s can’t support Buff drops and fighter production is prioritized and the B-52 isn’t a fast jet and doesn’t make A model IPs straight out of UPT.
cue the wailing of B-52s being even more a red headed stepchild.
