    so cost effective as to not be worth replacing. B-52's and P-3's are examples.

    Accommodations: Six ejection seats

    According to Greygent's post the Navigator and Bombardier sit on a lower deck behind the pilot. If that is the case how/where do those particular ejection seats eject out from? Up through the upper deck(s) in some way or out the side?

    Actually putting another Hubble Space Telescope at the other end of the solar system might enable them to do some very interesting visual intereferometry. Basicly this would create a virtual telescope with an apeture size of about half the width of the solar system.
