"What an Idiot!" is now Flame Bait.


* WhatAnIdiot: Starscream gets visited by a group of humans, who tell him all they know about the villain's plan. Instead of acting upon it, [[spoiler: He has the humans imprisoned and sends one man to deal with the threat. It goes horribly.]]

"''No airline'' would ever use an airplane for this long!" And yet ...

As of 2013--citing the bomber's ability to remain airborne for very long periods of time, its reliability, and its usefulness in supporting ground operations where opponents have limited air defense--the Air Force plans to continue using the B-52 well into 2045, almost a '''century''' after its first flight.
