This Bush appointee is a treasonous wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Yes, in this case it is Bush’s fault!

Setting aside some of the B-1B’s minor issues,
Next to Stealth and F-22 is one of the coolest Military Jet’s to be produced, similar to a Great White Shark: big, bad and fast.

The “blue suiters”, of which I have great admiration, need to be politely told by the American tax payers... SUCK IT UP and STFUP.
You bought em and made nice little careers and nice little retirements out of flying them.
So fly those pigs until the rivets fall out.

Anyone who uses the term “shoutout” has a “screwloose”, IMHO.

It’s alway nice to look up and see one over Khost. Great airplane.

It’s worth noting that the Russians have restarted production on their imitation B-1.

The B1 Lancer to me is the most sexiest big aircraft that I can think of for the modern era, as a modelmaker its on my winter hobby list, a really nice big kit.
I was at the Reno Air Races back in the early 90’s and saw a low to the deck flyby, one big impressive aircraft! Yet for its size I had a weird image of it capable of dogfighting.

Retire 66 heavy bombers so Zero can help his friends at Fanny, Freddie, the Unions, et al reap millions (billions) from the American taxpayer.
Screw Obama and his pals - WE the People want the B1B's to stay in active inventory and any Congress-critter that goes along with Gates should pay a heavy price.

One of the most versatile, lethal and by far, one of the most beautiful airplanes ever built.
Here is an article from Flight Journal, April 2005: Phoenix Risen: The Transformation of the Boeing B-1B that might be of interest. I couldn't find the magazine article with pictures, only the text.
