Big difference between a B52 and B1. Not surprising the MSM got it wrong the first time, though.

Just heard it about 5 minutes ago. Stating it was a B-1 and it went down in or near a military base in the ME.

I didn’t hear the earlier reports of a B52. Only B-1

Prayers up, I first saw one of those fly up in Minot, I was at the end of the runway when it took off.

Flew like a fighter, I didn’t have hearing protection and the things just rip you apart when they hit the burners.

Pray the crew made it out and away okay.

“Al-Udeid”

Is that AlJazeera’s idea of a joke?

After looking at some of those sat photos you would think that they could paint the runways the same way they painted and camo’d the bunkers.

I never understood the point of using camo on a building when there are 4 separate blacktop roads that lead right up to the camo doors.

B-52 is the safest bomber in the air.
