| Anonymous Coward User ID: 73209035 United States10/17/2016 10:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I saw one go right over head once....made me shake. Guy I know says they're not dependable... Two took off for a show I wanna say? One had to abort and the other broke down on arrival and sat for two years till they could get it fixed... |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 40002319 United States10/17/2016 10:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was traveling east on I-20 near Abilene, TX, home of Dyess AFB when 3 B1-B Lancer strategic bombers flew over in formation. I have traveled this area for many years and have never seen 3 up at one time. I see one quite often, but never 3, or even 2. War coming? Quoting: Informed1 Dyess AFB info: The host unit at Dyess is the 7th Bomb Wing (7 BW) assigned to the Global Strike Command Eighth Air Force. The 7 BW is one of only two B-1B Lancer strategic bomber wings in the United States Air Force, the other being the 28th Bomb Wing at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota. Pic: [link to tinypic.com] Its a pilot thing nothing to it. I bet that was quite the intimidating thing to see though. Growing up in Wichita we had B1's until 15+years ago. Can just imagine what that would have been like to see OP can't fault you for posting  |

Obama had all the US MIRVS disassembled back in 2014 under the START treaty. [link to universalknowledgeforum.com] I'm afraid it's a little too late... |

There were 3 practicing touch and go just circling the base and landing taking off non stop. Was awesome to watch. Three is an attack squadron so that's how they are trained. Dyess is their home base so nothing new going on. They need practice and that is what they do routinely. If it was war they will all be sent over seas. Some have gone to Korea some to their Indian ocean home away from home, Diego Garcia.. USA be prepared! |
