B1

Working in the yard and had a B1 Lancer fly over at about 15k alt. Heard it coming and had time to get binoculars. Loud and proud. Only second time seeing one. First was near Wichita Kansas many years ago. Do they service those at Tinker? Was going south/southwest.

They are scheduled to update/rebuild a Lancer. One that was in service caught fire and was destroyed so they found one to bring back to life. I think I have this correct but I'm sure someone that works there knows.
And Google Earth search shows 3 Lancers on the tarmac.

Yes, Tinker does Depot level maintenance on the B1.

See B52 planes quite often and tankers and awacs. I must be in a good flight path.
