Weather was dogshit from Canada to Arkansas yesterday.

Is it split/broken forward of the wing?

 

They landed gear up? Those are beefy gear to rip off

Whew! Good thing that imagery didn’t show where the other B-1’s are based at Dyess AFB, that could’ve been bad!

We?  Its a commercial satellite service.  The pictures were aleady posted by Air Force troops to social media the night it happened.  We allowed a Chinese balloon to overfly these areas un-hindered.  Go yell at some other clouds.

A real OPSEC warrior wouldn’t even tell Russia we had bombers.

Wait until you find out that random people can get AIB reports via google.

He was on centerline. Just a little short.

Well, that puts a new spin on sticking it on "brick 1". Probably where they left the gear, which is why you see the charred molten metal streak starting one ship length past the lip of the underrun.

That "motherhood" boi.... bigger Pk than the pointy-end stuff in this business anymore. *whistles past the graveyard*

@BashiChuniis just upset that the loss of this B-1 will free up some serious cash to fight his Russian pals. 

[fire4effect]

At least the seats appear to have worked as designed.

[Danger41]

I have no talent at baiting and setting a hook like @BashiChuni the troll goat.

I will teach you my son

RUMINT in the bomber community is a very serious EP (jet on fire) prior to the approach. Weather was an eyelash above ILS mins. First day back flying after Christmas/New Years. Helluva first day back…
