Interesting. This is the same bomb wing that in 2007 was involved in the unauthorized transport of 6 cruise missiles with live W80 nuclear warheads to Barksdale AFB. The nukes were known to be out the chain of operational control for 36 hours before being discovered at Barksdale. That base seems to have a spotty record re: weapons handling.

I talked to a guy that was TDY to Barksdale when they discovered the “missing” nukes. He said the concrete was damn hot when the Security Police pulled, jumped out with M-4s and put the whole flight line face down. Said it took about 2 hours for them to feel secure enough to let people up. Weapons were like Christmas stockings; hung with care still on the bomber. What a CF!!! Can’t remember how many colonels lost out on that one, but no one went to jail. Where is Curtis LeMay when you need him??
