• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Lt. Col Tim Schepper stationed at Ellsworth AFB in Rapid City, SD, became the first pilot in U.S. Air Force history to log 5000 hours in the B-1 yesterday, July 15th, 2013.
1300 of those hours were considered in combat.
Salute! :salute:

Quite an accomplishment! Huzzah! :applause:

One of the loudest a/c of the era....saw a take-off and fly-by at Barksdale one year, and it will get your attention as it moves out of the area.
