The B-1B did a lot of the heavy lifting in the early days in Afghanistan. The Air Force figured out pretty early that lots of F-15E sorties could be handled by one loitering B-1B

“Survival kit contents check. In them you’ll find: one forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days’ concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a fella’ could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.”

Make 100 multi billion dollar airplanes with no operating budget so they get mothballed. Now we pay 5x what it would have cost to keep them in service just to have them in service cheaper than designing and building new multi billion dollar aircraft.

from long-term storage, a surplus B-1 nicknamed “Lancelot” that’s been sitting in desert storage, aka “the Boneyard”, for three years.
