As we are becoming a larger nation, and up until now have relied on just our land army, we are looking to build an airforce. We aere looking for manouverable fighters like the SU-27, and long range bombers like the B52. We have $100 billion to spend. Please post your best offers here (OOC: no links to storefronts please)

If offers come with bombs, missles and connon ammunition, you will be favoured over just planes.

we have some redundant b-52s you could have:
Primary Function: Heavy bomber
Contractor: Boeing Military Airplane Co.
Power Plant: Eight Pratt & Whitney engines TF33-P-3/103 turbofan
Thrust: Each engine up to 17,000 pounds (7,650 kilograms)
Length: 159 feet, 4 inches (48.5 meters)
Height: 40 feet, 8 inches (12.4 meters)
Wingspan: 185 feet (56.4 meters)
Speed: 650 miles per hour (Mach 0.86)
Ceiling: 50,000 feet (15,151.5 meters)
Weight: Approximately 185,000 pounds empty (83,250 kilograms)
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 488,000 pounds (219,600 kilograms)
Range: Unrefueled 8,800 miles (7,652 nautical miles)
Armament:
NOTE: The B-52 can carry 27 internal weapons. Authoritative sources diverge as to maximum munition loads, with some suggesting as many as 51 smaller munitions and 30 larger munitions, while others suggest maximum loads of 45 and 24, respectively.
* The Heavy Stores Adaptor Beam [HSAB] external pylon can carry only 9 weapons which limits the total carry to 45 (18 external).
* The AGM-28 pylon could carry lighter weapons like the MK-82 and can carry 12 weapons on each pylon, for a total of 24 external weapons, for a the total of 51. However, the AGM-28 pylon is no longer used, so the B-52 currently carries on HSABs, limiting the external load to 18 bombs, or a total of 45 bombs.
Approximately 70,000 pounds (31,500 kilograms) mixed ordnance -- bombs, mines and missiles.

Crew: Five (aircraft commander, pilot, radar navigator, navigator and electronic warfare officer)
Accommodations: Six ejection seats

$5 million each (so you can afford 20)

I have $100 BILLION, not million. 20 x 5 million = 100 million (I'm working this out in english terms of million and billion, whch I think are different to the US terms). If I can get 20 for $100 million, then I'll take it, money will be wired when the order is confirmed.

OOC: British Communists the British and US billion are different.
US billion = 1,000,000,000 (one thousand million)
British billion = 1,000,000,000,000 (one million million)
