Maybe in your plane, killer.

I was referring to my “plane.” Obviously the pilots of single seat jets like A-10s, F-16s, and F-15Cs are more than bus drivers. But in the aircraft lucky enough to have WSOs, the pilots are bus drivers.

It has been a workhorse/

We literally unveiled a brand new bomber this week, but ok.

$2B loss I’m sure. Hope the B-21 gets rolling soon. And the AF orders more than 20

AF “ordered” more than 20 B-2s. Congress killed it after the collapse of the Soviet Union. We had 21, but we lost one in Guam in 2008.

B-52 is biggest I’ve crewed. Also flew in KC-135, RC-135, E-8, and C-130.
No C17s, C5s or 141s? My worst flight was on an Osprey, the only time I've come close to picking on a plane.

Flown as a passenger on the C-17 and C-5, not as primary crew. C-141 was out of service before I got commissioned.

Somebody dropped a deuce.

No way. You could easily find after market landing gear parts on eBay for under $8,000,000.

They’ll blame maintenance for causing the crash…

1 b2 cost $2 billion
That sounded outlandish, but I'll be damned... total average cost was 2.1 b per unit, in 1997
that did include research and all that, but wow.
