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.

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