I got a tail to nose tour of that aircraft back in the very early 1990s. She flew into Grand Forks AFB and since I was the Chief of Safety I went out to the Flight Line and they graciously took me through the entire aircraft. MAGNIFICENT!

The next day she flew out and the 321st Bomb Wing launched a B-1B and the two aircraft flew in formation over the base. The Lanc was at full throttle while the B-1B was doing everything possible to not fall out of the sky.

I have a great professional photograph of that moment. I doubt it will ever occur again.

My mind is melting. The 319th Bomb Wing flew the B-1B. The 321st was my Strategic Missile Wing on the same base.
