Have Nuke, Will Travel
The Air Force is mulling over installing nuclear reactors in an effort to "green up" its air bases. As long as they can't be mounted under the wing of a B-52, it should be safe enough. Well, until the "real" greens get wind of it, at any rate.
Heh... wouldn't a flying fortress powered by plutonium instead of jet fuel be neat, though? And if it gets shot down, it'll give a whole new meaning to the term "blaze of glory."

Dude... no kidding... you really need a copy editor. A Flying Fortress hasn't gone down in a blaze of glory since the mid 60s. A manned B-17... say, mid 45.
Now, Stratofortress, that's a different kettle o' fish.

biatches.
