Which bomber is still in active use today?

The B-52 Stratofortress is indeed the bomber that is still in active service today. Originally commissioned in the 1950s, the B-52 has undergone various upgrades over the decades, allowing it to remain relevant in modern warfare. Its versatility enables it to carry a wide variety of weapons, including both conventional and nuclear armaments, making it a key component of the United States Air Force's strategic bomber fleet. The B-52’s long range, large payload capacity, and ability to conduct various types of missions—including strategic bombing, close air support, and reconnaissance—further solidify its enduring role in military operations.

The B-17 and B-29, while historically significant and famously used during World War II, have been retired from active service. The B-1 Bomber is also still in use, but the B-52 has been operational longer and continues to be a workhorse for the Air Force today.
