Or having the international embarrassment of having your entire Syrian air-wing grounded by F22 Raptors?

If we’re going to be pedantic here, your statement is no more correct or incorrect than Raphael’s.

Ditto. Fortunately I never had to do CSAR. If you are the one hanging on that rescue hoist cable what better friend to have out there than the A-10, the gun with an airplane attached to it! I too am in the keep the A-10 camp. But I would also like to see the A-10's updated with better avionics, and updated…

Thanks, B1; that helps those of us on the ground understand things a bit better.

Allenby is a world-class golfer. He should be able to get out of a tough lie.

first I'd like to say thanks for passing these. It's not often I get to see air refueling from the receivers perspective. I got to fly on a kc10 once back in the early 2000s from Qatar and we got gas from a 135 but that's the only time I've seen it from that side.

I had no idea. Thank you for the video!

It can be a challenge. when you are taking 80,000 - 100,000lbs of fuel it takes time. sometimes you have to fly this close for 20 minutes straight or more, through weather, at night, with little light. I'd post a video of that, but frankly that camera really cant capture anything.
Navy planes, and some coalition…

like seriously everyone should take a moment, and stop what they are doing...

The B-1 program was entirely and specifically based around strategic nuclear weapon delivery. The bomber simply had no role in non-nuclear warfare. The B-1A, which Carter thankfully canceled, was essentially a high-performance version of the currently in-service B-1B (which is hardly slow and heavy itself). The B-1A…

I've never heard of that mishap either. I call BS.

that's just like your opinion, man.

From where and when Slab?

As a former B-1B OAS specialist...thanks for the footage!

Man… that is not a job for anyone with a shortage of patience. Mad skills.

Thanks B-1 Pilot!

I want to fly through that.... researching why we havent now

i would have to disagree with you on that. during the libyan adventure, they ran out of ammo after 11 weekes, we had to supply them. they didn't have enough tankers, we had to supply them. they had no long range bombers, we had to supply them. they didn't have enough cruise missile platforms, we had to supply…

You don't! Especially with standoff LO weaponry!
