Boeing launched the most recent attempt in 1996. The company offered
the Air Force an unsolicited proposal to re-engine the B-52 fleet with the RB211-535 turbofans built by Rolls-Royce subsidiary Allison Engine Co. The proposal surfaced again in 1999 after Operation ALLIED FORCE, then again in early 2002 after Operation ENDURING FREEDOM and now after Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. Bottom line, after *every* conflict that B-52s have been involved in since the initial proposal (which coincidently came a few months after Operation DESERT STRIKE) the subject has re-surfaced, only to be killed, again and again...
