North American Rockwell / Boeing B-1 Lancer

That’s weird; I thought the B-1s had altitude and hour limitations on their training to preserve the airframes.

They are restricted, Sack and Voodoo are both "old guys", I knew both of them well when I was at Dyess '02-05. Voodoo was the ADO of the 9th and Sack was my vice then wing commander. The restrictions hit long after both retired. They're real good guys

Funniest thing, one of my colleagues is a fellow B-1 initial cadre and was in town today. First thing we talked about was that video, which then led to an invite to the 40th anniversary celebration. LOL, feels like yesterday that I was at the 20th in my mess dress...

Oh, just for fun, can we try to identify the whole weapons spread in that photo?

Top row looks like: 15x Harpoons, 15x ALCMs, 10x B57s? 15x ALCMs, and 15x Harpoons
2nd row looks like: 38x Phoenix, 30x SRAM, 8x B28?
3rd row looks like: 22x B61?, 30x CBUs, 84x 500lb bombs
bottom row looks like: 2000lb bombs, maybe B83s, 1000lb bombs

To drag the picture over here.

ALCMs must have been the shorter AGM-86As.

Must be, but the contrast paint for drops makes it really hard to see the shapes.
