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.

Indeed. They look like GIANT fighter jets but also very heavy.

Nothing will ever top the look of an SR-71, however.

They need a B-1 to deliver all the cash payments they drop to the mullahs.

“Gorgeous airplanes, those B-1s. “

I’ve always thought so too.

And when the wings swing in tight to the body— they go... supersonic. This is one of the bombers that kept Qadaffi quiet for years after Reagan attacked him for his minions attack on a German venue filled with US personnel. Two of his children killed and he had heat burns. This was conventional weapons.

They of course are/were nuclear capable. Wonder if we could rebuild something of this sort, but made out of composite carbon body. The B-2 being stealth... not supersonic.

Was in HS in Utah in the late 80’s and there was a B-1 that I’m pretty sure had some major maintenance work done on it at Hill. It was regularly doing a lot of touch and go’s right over the top of our high school. It was the single loudest plane I have ever heard.
