I seriously doubt that its mission is changing to that of a cargo hauler. Maybe I’m confused?? The article describes a retrofit to allow spare parts and tooling for the B-52 to be carried internally to allow for a more discrete deployment. Not sure how that turns into a down grade and cargo mission change. Oh well, I guess if a person can decide to be a man one day and a woman the next, a B-52 can decide one day to be a bomber and the next day to be a cargo aircraft.
