+MigBuster Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 America's iconic war machine The most feared bomber plane of the 20th Century is still going strong after 60 years in service in the US military - from Vietnam to Afghanistan. And she will keep on flying until 2044. How does this 1950s behemoth survive in the era of drones and stealth aircraft? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-33766644 2
Skyviper Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Saw one up close and personal at an airshow. The thing is a lot smaller than I thought it would be. Also saw a B-1 ... that thing was a lot larger than I thought it would be.
