Prayers for the crew.

B-1 is the prettiest plane in the world. Man, it looks like it is flying 600MPH as it sits on the ground. When those wings sweep back, it is super sleek. B-2 is the ugliest plane in the world, Nuff said.

B-1 is the prettiest plane in the world. Man, it looks like it is flying 600MPH as it sits on the ground.

Got that right. It's too bad the ugly ones end up being the most effective.

There was a B-1 at the Chicago Air Show in the summer of 2000. The show was on the weekend, but during the week, the planes would practice over the city. (The Blue Angels skimmed buildings during the work day...very cool.) Anyhow, when the B-1 showed up, it came screaming in over the city, just cleared the John Hancock building, and banked out over Lake Michigan...and let out the loudest roar I had ever heard from a plane. It was gone in a few seconds. In my opinion, it was just as cool as the Blue Angels.

They can probably never do that again though. The people in the JH building probably thought the building was coming apart.
