I have a cousin who lives in Arkansas. Her husband used to fly for a living and has a few planes.
One that he has is a scaled down Corsair. Really cool. One day he was doing touch and go's at a local airfield and was flying back home afterward. He got a call on his radio from a guy that wanted to look his Corsair over. In a few minutes a Spitfire pulls up along side him. The other pilot says, "Wanna dog fight?". Cousins husband laughed and politely turned him down.

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.

Very interesting, so I did some investigating. How can Boeing take credit? Apparently Rockwell International sold its aerospace and defense units to Boeing in 1996. But that doesn't explain Boeing taking credit for the last B1B built in 1988. I do think Boeing is responsible for many upgrades, etc., from that point forward. As you stated though, the B1B is 100% Rockwell design and production; they won the contract from the start.

Anyhow, an amazing aircraft. Thank you for your contribution to making it happen.

They can be extremely dense.

How does he like heights?

Don't think he would like to work on elevators do you?

Personnel elevators not Grain.

Morning Kenneth. Other than a brief shower looks to be a beautiful weekend.

I'm partial to the A-10 also. The most beautiful aircraft to the guys on the ground along with an AC130 Spectre.
We go to Cannon Range open houses to watch live fire exercises.

They had a BONE there one year dropping 1000 lb inert ordinace. They patched him over the observation tower PA and he said he was going home and his last pass would be at Mach .95 @ 500ft and full afterburner. It was the most memorable pass that I've experienced.
We were at an Indy car race at Kansas Speedway when a B1b passed over the track. You felt the grandstand start shaking then the Indy cars at full RPM going for the green flag were drowned out totally.

It's hard to describe unless you have heard one (B1B); but shaking a grandstand and drowning out 20ish Indy cars going full throttle is a good start. If there is a louder one, I don't want to hear it.

An AV8B Harrier on vertical takeoff gets very close.

You’d have to ask him.. who knows?
