Bones at the 'Hall

Today a wonderful visit by a couple of the USAF's most impressive aircraft: the Rockwell B-1B Lancer bomber came to an end. Originally conceived as high-altitude nuclear bombers in the Regan era, today they are utilized for pinpoint tactical strikes and can hug the surface of the planet while going the speed-o-heat.

The visitors that departed on this cold and frosty morning are from Dyess AFB, Texas and from the 28th Bomb Squadron. The Bone as it's called, takes off under full afterburner from it's four massive engines, like a fighter on steroids. Love 'em, wish I could see more of them.


Good crowd showing up at John's Field on a frosty Saturday morning.
