And to think jimmy Carter wanted to scrap the B1. It sure has been useful in these years since he went back to growing peanuts.

Just saw recent action by bombing the Iranian proxy's. Flew all the way from the US to the middle east with in-air refueling.

I saw that. Why would they not fly out of Diego Garcia? Maybe it's the airspace being hostile.
edit; or having the proper 'bullets' on hand.

It's a message that our military can reach out from home.
You can run us out of your country, but that doesn't mean your safe.

If you haven't seen a B1 demonstration at an airshow you are missing out. When you are watching one, your first thought is that "those big bombers aren't supposed to be able to do that!"

They are truly impressive!

At the last airshow at Will Rogers when the B1 left the pilot did a barrel roll. That was something to see! By the way I'm pretty sure that photo is photoshopped.
