Just in case anyone wants to get me a B-52, I am willing to make that commitment

- This is precisely the top-tier content I come here for. Well done.
  
  It was a post earlier this week by someone else. I linked it, throw them an up vote too!

May the 1000 year reign of the B-52 bring us joy and prosperity.
- Long live buff.
  
  I'm still surprised theres not a gunship version, thing could carry a fuckload of dakka.
  
  Praise be

Anyone else yearn to live in a fantasy setting where they could get a plane like this and go from airfield to airfield living as a traveling trader?
- 😂 I think that's a cool idea; but I reckon the running cost in fuel alone, without maintenance, would make this implausible.
  
  Well yeah, the fantasy part is that you'd make enough money to actually do it, heh.
  
  There's a Mr. Fusion on board to power the retrofitted pulse engines. Which is a good thing, since all the nanobots that nonstop repair the airframe take about half the energy produced (the engines taking the other half, of course).
  Just remember to chuck a couple Cyberdyne Model-101 skeletons in the fuel chamber and you're good for another year or so.
  
  That's the part of tale spin that breaks the immersion for me, the fuel costs!
- Is this like a high fantasy setting or a more sci-fi one. I’ve had this for the former. Though with a number of different vehicles.

An unforseen cost is all the wrapping paper and scotch tape.

I, for one, welcome our new stratofortressian overlords.

Mine won't stop singing about rock lobsters.
