This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Anyone know production figures for some of the semi-modern warbirds?
How many built? How many still flying? F-15, F-16, B-52, etc.?
Regards,
Mike

Mike, according to
www.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?fsID=83 744 B-52's were built. It does not say how many are still flying today but only the H model is still in the air. It seems to me I have heard less then 65 B-52's are still flying.

Oooops. At the very end of that link it says 85 B-52's are currently "active".

www.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?fsID=101 says 396 F-15's are "active" It does not state how many were made.

www.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?fsID=103 states 738 F-16's are "active", 69 are in reserve and 473 are in ANG units.
