When The Last B-2 Is Retired

 And the Sec Def arrived in a C130.

[Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984]

I loved this story...

 

it was Jan 16, 1991. A commercial flight, something like Atlanta to Chicago. The pilot gets on the intercom, “ look out the left window folks, that’s a flight of B-2s and we can guess where they are going.”

 

So much for operational security.

And the Marines will have  a flight of Cobra gunships do a flyover.

Naw... a C-47!  The only airplane that will outlive the B-52!

Survive yeah. But no longer in the inventory.

Kind of like 1911s.  They will always be there...somewhere.

 

 

And cockroaches and ants.
