Trunions?This I do not know. However, there is a common problem across the entire (?) E6B fleet that is apparently in need of replacement or failing. I don't know how expensive or difficult it is to fix.

If I recall, that was the part. What is it that is causing them to fail fleet wide and why is it so expensive or burdensome?Trunions?
You forgot the answer to everything: EF-35. ???We could have a poll on here for the new platform for TACAMO Mk III
EC-17
ES-3 (not the old Shadow... it would be something else)
EH-60 (throwaway COA)
EP-8
EV-22 (not tied to obvious deployment sites that are on adversary country targeting lists)
EMQ-4
I think the last one has merit. Put all the moles up there in the mission module and let the pilots fly it from an air conditioned trailer somewhere in Nevada.

It's basically part of the structure the gear is attached to. It can start to crack over time. Mx inspects it on regular intervals and we are supposed to give it a look during preflight, but it's pretty hard to see, much less identify cracking on a preflight. @insanebikerboy may have read more about it than I have...If I recall, that was the part.

They'll even run one into a C-5 just to make a movie stunt.It’s the same reason the USAF is shitcanning the KC-10, smaller fleet so cost per plane is through the roof.
USN has been adamant that the replacement for the EP-3 is the MQ-4.
You'll note I didn't comment on how well that plan has been working, just that it is The Plan.That aint' working out so well so far...

The AF swore the RQ-4 would replace the U-2...calling @HuggyU2
