Actually the idea of a USAF wing rebuilt around the remaining Broncos is kinda neat.

Yeah, I've always kinda thought that the actual aircraft themselves should be rare but not totally non existent...it's getting the fuel and the spare parts to keep them airworthy that are the problem. So what you would see is the concentration of those assets to keep a handful of aircraft operable.
