Face
it - a non-stealthy combat aircraft is obsolete.

I think you may be over stating that point a bit Walt. There's still years and
years of play for non-stealth (and in the case of the BUFF, anti-stealth)
aircraft. In fact, the addition of the F/A-22 ensures that.

You might be on to something there.
A radar signature so massive that radar operators disregard it because
they know nothing that huge could fly.....

And just think if a B-52 could generate large numbers of those massive
radar signatures it would completely blank out the radar operators
scope!
Or instead of one massive flying barn coming at you it would look like
hundreds of flying barns were headed your way from all directions....
