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

“My name is Holden.” Well, I guess phonies need not apply.

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

You don't! Especially with standoff LO weaponry!
