Well then we should definitely add to the death and destruction by adding more unqualified people to the mix.

I assume you have never been driving and going in and out of really thick fog.

No one asked why a Bomber aircraft was over South Dakota?


It was landing at its home base.

quote:

A B-1 Lancer bomber from Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota crashed Thursday, and all four of its crew members ejected, the Air Force said.

...

While 100 were originally built, fewer than 60 remain in service, at Dyess Air Force Base in Texas and Ellsworth Air Force Base.

B1s debuted in 1974.


Negative. That was the B-1A that Carter killed in 1977. Reagan restarted the program in 1981 as the B-1B. The AF began taking deliveries of brand new B-1B's in 1985. Still pretty old, but less than 40 years old not 50 years old.

People are clueless. The B1 is so old and the SR-71 is older than dirt. shite , the F22 is old.

The US is so far ahead in every facet that it isn’t even funny. It cracks me up when people point the revamped F-15 model that we are losing ground. They are building a missile carrier of the currently most successful air to air plane ever…I wonder why. The F-35 and NGAD will be insane. Most UFO’s are US military testing.

Technically we have 20 B-2s in the inventory, but I highly doubt the AF will pay to fix the one that had its landing gear collapse upon landing at Whiteman AFB in Dec 2022. Lots of damage done and will be extremely expensive to fix.

We have 76 B-52Hs in the active inventory. They are all being upgraded with a new radar, new engines, new comms, new avionics, and a change to the defensive gear that will drop the crew makeup down to 4 instead of 5. When the jets come out with the new engines, the aircraft will be redesignated as the B-52J.
