#1 And after reading all that, my dearly departed Intruders cost $34 million ( in 1998 bucks) had a payload of >15,000 and range of 3245 miles and could fly in all weather. yeah stealthy as a brick, and needed some air to air support, but having 30 500 pound bombs rain down on you could really screw up your to do list. and they were already paid for.
