THIS IS AWESOME! I would love to see more if you have them. Some truly historic aircraft. I will now be looking all over the web for more images of these aircraft. Hours of staying up late. My wife is going to love this.... NOT!

Here are some more!

Cool stuff, Doug! I'd love to get out there one day, looks like they have quite a collection. I refueled that B-1 back in December 1986 when it was delivered to the USAF Museum in Dayton. Was disappointed when I visited there to find it had been moved, but glad to see it is well cared for.

[Derf]

DROOLL!!!!! WOW, To many to list that I liked seeing... But the B-58 has to top the list! Oh HELL YEA! Thanks

[nssd70]

Thanks for the comments. The B-1 is very impressive. I would have loved to have seen it in action.

Somewhere in a box in the closet are some slides I shot from the boom pod that day. I really need to find them and scan them...

I got a few from over Afghanistan, but I've been flying nights so they are all dark... Obviously way more sexy coming from the back of a -10 than a -135 though.. :wink:

These pictures were taken by my 8 year old son,Jared.

[Derf]

Hey, I'm just keeping it real! I kid I kid, everything back in the good old red vs blue SAC days was obviously much better!
