That's the sound of freedom, anon, embrace it!
The Bone ain't no fossil. It's still a beast with a mission.
Swing wing bomber. Cool
B1 bomber.
I see him. Just did 180 heading back same path 25k.
Had a huge transport fly over my neighborhood a half hour ago-4 huge engines do make a sound of freedom.. It was circling to land at Buckley AFB
Still watching him. He was just over 700 kts.
That is a big tailwind.
I was in the middle of nowhere Montana deer hunting about 25 years ago. I took a break in some shade. Suddenly a B1 went by at low level. Then another. And another. i felt like I was watching a Fellini made Western with a mix of historical and modern. ( although very little is modern on a B1
Interesting, a high quality video of a B-1 taking off today from Buckley was just posted a few hours ago. Same flight, perhaps? https://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/comments/1aqump8/b1_takeoff_video/
Perhaps we have met??? If we happen to meet, we will have much to speak about... 😊
😁❤👌🇺🇸
Can anyone explain why the callsign altitude is "206,000 feet"? That seems far too high for performance capability.
20,600 barometric altitude-barometers here in the Front Range are adjusted for altitude and one that arrives from a coastal city shows much lower reading-so, a non radar altitude reading...
Sorry. I misread the number by one decimal point. Strange, because I looked at it multiple times. Glasses are broke.
No problem, fren, I went through cataract surgery and seeing better than all the rest of my life.
Would that have been "refractive lens exchange" (RLE)? It used to be called receiving an intra-ocular lens (IOL) implant. For a period of about 2 years in the mid-1970s I worked as an optical engineer on production quality control for optical properties of IOLs. (The company at which I worked was sold to 3M.)
Indeed, I have a pronounced astigmatism in my right eye and had the strongest correction lense installed (+14.0D); left eye (+15.0D)-I have gotten a pair of glasses to correct to the best vision I have ever had... It is the closest thing to a miracle in my life-the VA did this at no cost to me!!
Bully for you. Glad it came out so well. Those were strong corrections. I have myopia, with a -2.25 D correction in one eye and - 3.0 D in the other, with about 0.75 D astigmatism correction. Stay away from getting hit in the head by a football!
I was never an athelete 😢so unlikely to be a target of a quarterback! 😂 Your measurements were near mine, so I know how you see the world...
