The maintenance contracts on the B-52s alone are worth tens of billions of dollars. And like you pointed out, they're going to keep renewing those contracts for decades to come.

Yes, but there are apparently 76 active + 18 reserve. And notably only used by the USAF.

That's a lot of planes, and a huge contract, but it's not a recipe for growth.
