Gorgeous airplanes, those B-1s. I used to watch them do touch and goes at Hill AFB in Utah. With the wings extended out they look like swans.
Need better pic.
Can’t see the “Let’s Go Brandon” tail sticker.
Really good message there,send a B-1 stealth bomber over Iran. They never saw it so how did they “get the message”?
Try sending a good old fashioned B-52 fully dressed out AND visible and really send a message!
