The last B-52's were built in 1962 at a cost of $9m. The $53m figure was in 1998 dollars. That's about $70m in 2012 dollars. Still a pretty good deal.

- Retric 14y agoYea, I have been editing that post to be a little more clear. But, I should add that while B-52's are still in service they have been extensively retrofired to the point where little more than the original Airframe remains and the practical replacement cost is significantly higher than 70 million.
