Better than a strongly worded letter huh?
Bullsqueeze. Chomo Joe saw a 12 year old Korean girl on the beach and wanted some pics.
LOL
If Israelis can fly at will undetected in and out of Iran in F-35s, Flintstone Norks got no clue.
Beautiful aircraft, but zero stealth.
I assume there were preteen girls to sniff...
The B-1B has a radar cross section sitting between the F-15 (larger) and the F-16 (smaller). It was designed with early generation radar evading technology.
I saw a B-1 do a show of force in Iraq. Low Level 600kts. Pretty cool.
I seem to recall when Jimmy Carter cancelled it and then saw a cartoon in the paper with little ugly Amy on a swing with ropes down from the nose tip. Pretty funny. My guess is they’re still using this for crap shows like this because it’s too difficult staging B-2s to do it.
Saw two of them flying over my house a few days back mid-morning probably out of Dyess. No transponders. No escorts. Wondered where they were going. Headed due West over NM. I wondered if it was SE Asia. Nothing else sounds like the Bone!

There're so many troll articles B-1B with bad engines, the reason why there weren't in the Desert Storm 1991.
Not really. I was at a military air show. I spoke to the pilots and maintenance crew of the B-1B bomber why they weren't in the Desert Storm 1991. They all said they were flying 24/7 carrying nuclear bombs from Alaska to Greenland at the duration of the war in case the Russian would go interfere with the U.S. led coalation effort to kick Saddam out of Kuwait.
Every military jet I've ever seen has always been noisy. I guess there's some sort of tradeoff between loudness and performance, with performance being the winner.
The worst I've been near were AV-8B Harriers -- when going VTOL they let out a shriek that made my back teeth ache.
It’s stealth is the ability to fly supersonic below radar.
Where’s the B-58 when you need it?

With modern missiles and bombs, it never has to enter NK air space.
The kinda relationship the DoD Rats & Neocons want.
The Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider is to begin replacing the B-1B after 2025; all B-1s are planned to be retired by 2036...
B-21 Raider:
They did upgrade the engines to better, quieter versions.
Takeoffs are loud just because its big...
