They also intend to keep it in service until 2020!
Not that surprising - most of the front-line military are in their 20s or 30s. Carrying the bomber analogy a little further (and despite the wrong colours): Nikon. B1. Expensive for what it does, but built like a tank. Canon. B2. Leading-edge (and, naturally, expensive). Each manufacturer also offers cheaper models, of course.
