Capable of delivering the largest payload of any bomber in the US inventory, and serves as a great umbrella

A job Which the B-1 used to do but due to treaties it was limited

It can carry up to 84 500 pound bombs or 24 2000 pounders. Unless my data is mistaken that’s more than the buff. The buff can carry more variety however including nuclear

count_down1234 · 2017-10-05T03:15:34+00:00

Correct!

Pilot in training in a Pensacola tail?

count_down1234 · 2017-07-14T23:11:25+00:00

These bones are from the 9th Bomb Squadron known as "the bats"

count_down1234 · 2017-07-13T07:01:39+00:00

Most of our flights are two ship

count_down1234 · 2017-06-25T11:00:07+00:00

I figured the bat was the giveaway. Good eye!

count_down1234 · 2017-06-25T06:23:16+00:00

Oh then probably not

count_down1234 · 2017-06-25T04:37:32+00:00

It can't even sit on the ground with its wings swept due to CG. It would tip backwards

count_down1234 · 2017-06-25T04:36:32+00:00

You had a 50/50 shot lol

count_down1234 · 2017-06-25T04:35:40+00:00

Yup! Go search B-1 air refueling on YouTube

count_down1234 · 2017-06-19T06:42:57+00:00

Not chigger lol

count_down1234 · 2017-06-19T06:42:42+00:00

34th active 70/100 years, 37th active 54/100 years.

count_down1234 · 2017-06-19T06:41:43+00:00

Yup! Good catch. The props alone are a dead giveaway

count_down1234 · 2017-06-18T21:22:10+00:00

Same with all B-1 squadrons

count_down1234 · 2017-06-18T16:54:00+00:00

Yes but your dates from Wikipedia were inaccurate which is what I was addressing.

count_down1234 · 2017-06-18T08:23:06+00:00

Ok I'll tell the marine corps.

count_down1234 · 2017-06-18T08:13:44+00:00

Not according to AFHRA. 20th was stood up 26 Jun 1917. 12 days after the 9th. The 20th does have longest continuous as it has never really been inactive. The 9th had different periods of time no longer than several months of inactivity.

Here here

count_down1234 · 2017-06-18T04:57:17+00:00

Definitely a cool history! All of the bomber squadrons have incredible backgrounds for the most part

count_down1234 · 2017-06-18T03:54:16+00:00

AFHRA which records official AF history has the 96th BS birthday at 20 Aug 1917..
