well... sort of. the whole push for new bombers right now is because the old "still working ones" are actually really (really) expensive, since they break a lot and some of the parts aren't even made anymore, worn out A-frames, designs not made with maintenance in mind and all that. I could bore you with details, but... eh. generally stuff isn't just replaced for no reason though (f22/35 program excluded).
