The B-1 is still in service.


I think they plan to retire it, though.



All aircraft retire eventually. USAF plans are to fly the current bomber
fleet of B-1, B-2, and B-52 bombers into the mid 2030s.



Even the B-1 is still like using Dewey's fleet against the Japanese.

And the last I heard was that AWACS is funded through 2040.
