[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3256285, member: 3099"] I don't know but I have doubts. The original C141As were actually able to haul more weight that they could fit in them. So they stretched them all to utilize their load carrying ability. Now it's possible that the fatigue over the years did exactly what you're saying and that it was just too expensive a proposition to rebuild them, but they were workhorses. The B52 parts that we quoted were uber simple, just quite large and numerous. I suspect that rebuilding them is a much simpler proposition due to the age of the design and that maybe Boeing thought of maintenance when they designed it, but those are just a guesses on my part.
