It looks worried..

 

[Hedgerow]

Ok, I’m gonna ask...

What is it?

 

[Jetmd]

Rockwell International B1B.

The first nuclear capable, swing wing Super Sonic bomber. 1.25 mach.

Brenda and I both worked on the project for Rockwell.

Awesome F**cking piece of equipment!

 

[USMC615]

Rockwell International B1B.

The first nuclear capable, swing wing Super Sonic bomber. 1.25 mach.

Brenda and I both worked on the project for Rockwell.

Awesome F**cking piece of equipment!

One on display at the very front of the Museum of Aviation at Robins AFB, where I work C-17 avionics/flight controls. It is one helluva bomber!

Still in service?

 

[Jetmd]

Yes Sir.

They fly daily.

The only aircraft which carried more ordnance is the B52, but that old girl is a lottttt slower!

In service since 85 says a lot for how much they like em for sure.
Thomas’ link said 2% of the missions and 40% of the ordinance.. lol
I’ll take that as “they can literally haul a metric *s-word ton of weight”.

 

[Hedgerow]

Damn, it’s nice out this morning.

 

[Hedgerow]

Levi’s boss got him this yesterday.
Pretty beefy cooler.

 

[Cat 525]

Glad I don’t have to pilot one..
That’s some serious long hours in a cockpit at a time..

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Damn, it’s nice out this morning.

I had 49 at 4:30 at home.

 

[Douglas Ostrander]

Thomas,

Thank you for the link to the B1B page. This provides a good overview of the features of this aircraft.

But....Boeing taking credit for 100 AC being built at their factories is BS!

There is no denial Boeing can design and build a good plane, but this was and always will be
a Rockwell built AC.
