Subdeacon Joe Posted November 4 Posted November 4 From FB A B-1 bomber suffered a landing gear failure when touching down at Edwards Air Force Base. As the aircraft was skidding down the dry lake bed, the tower controller asked if they needed assistance. Through the shower of smoke, dust, and sparks came the response from the B-1 bomber crew... "Dunno - we ain't done crashing' yet." www.Sierrahotel.net 3 1 7 Quote
