SimFixer Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) If you'd have told the BUFF and BONE guys 20 years ago that one day their jets would be equipped to do stand-alone precision weapon employment, "one pass, one bomb, one kill", they'd have prolly laughed in your face and told ya to adjust the dosage of your meds. :wub: Edited December 6, 2010 by SimFixer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
modelman11 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 The last one is the elusive OT CODED BONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely. The B-1 is an incredibly capable platform these days with Sniper and precision weapons. They are nearly finished with flight tests of the GBU-54 on the jet, so it will be even more capable in a few months.The last one is the elusive OT CODED BONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Elusive??? They have two at Dyess where the 337 TES has a detachment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jmel Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 THERE are NEVER any pics of them!!! Theres also a WA coded bone...... I guess I wouldn't say "never." As of right now, there is no Weapons School jet. It is at depot. They just traded with Ellsworth to get tail number 077, and it is in the process of becoming the 77th Weapons Squadron flagship.

ST0RM Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Nice collection Jake. The OT jets are great catch. 120 must be a recent swap. I swear I've got recent Air-to-Air pics of it, but with operational markings. -Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you look at the OT tailcode, it looks like there's a fresh coat of paint there, maybe covering up an old tailcode? I'll ask them when I go back next month.

ian_maw Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I was just logging in to post these in the nose art thread, but since I found this one first, it's only fair to drop off the B-1 pics here on the way by Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ian Cooper Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Photo quality isn't great but this is the only B-1 I've ever seen. It's at Mildenhall Airshow back in the 1980s ..... Cheers Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B-one Keeper Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Found a possible new mod for the B-1B being tested. http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123250639 Pretty sweet! Probably will never see it though. Shaun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 You may have noted that the main gear tires and wheels were missing from the display. The PA (Public Affairs) for Ellsworth told me that the tires were needed for an operational B-1 so the maintainers took them. Someone needs to Photoshop that up on blocks in front of a mobile home with it's engine sitting in the weeds next to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fishwelding Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Ah, the obligatory weapons layout photo finally arrives. ...except they used inert munitions! It's an entire field of blue! It's like the B-1 can only attack the enemy with pool cue chalk! Edited April 13, 2011 by Fishwelding Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alternative 4 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Dissapointed by its ability to support the Libya no fly zone with words and not weapons, New Zealand is looking for a longe range strike bomber. This will also be used to protect its soon to be found oil reserves. That photo is a promotional photo in an attempt to sway NZ politicians towards 2nd hand B-1b's Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ST0RM Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Here's a B-One from a few months back. We were over West Texas. Enjoy! Edited April 15, 2011 by ST0RM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RedHeadKevin Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I like that. New weqapons rack for the Bone, but dammit, I almost had enough bombs to fill my Revellogram B-1b. Now I might have to get more! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
