H.J. von Arnim Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 So, I found this link http://www.af.mil/news/factsheets/B_1B_Lancer.html but I do need more information (and photos) concerning this bomber. Can anyone help out please ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hueristic Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 You should put this in the GENERAL forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyJohn Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 von Arnim Agreed, there are guys there who really get into modern weaponry. Never saw one of those as they came out years after I lef, tbut whenever I see a photo of a B-52 I think about freezing my ass off at 2:am while the meter slowly counts out 50,000 gallons in slow moving single digits! We had a black, unmarked spy plane land once and the only guys working on it were E-7s -8s & 9s. Thinking it was some sort of new bomber being tested, I asked a tech sergeant what the model was. We were about fiftey feet from the thing. He said, "Aircraft, I don't see any aircraft and neither do you." Another time, when I asked if a certain cumbersome item happened to be an H-bomb (this was on one of the largest SAC Bases on Earth), a major told me, "Don't be ridiculous, young fellow, we don't have any of those things. I know it and now you do as well." Security was so tight I didn't start learning about these things till after I left the Air Force! Which I find reassuring.

Night Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for... any information anyone here would know you could find at a search engine i'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 HJA, what is it that you need? My daughter has worked on the B1-B engine running diagnostic routines and I have a large prototype schematic posted, of all places, in the throne room. Don't know if I can help, but be specific with your questions and I may come up with something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.J. von Arnim Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 SeaMonkey: So, what I'm up to is the following: My brother studies History and one thing he does is writing the history of "modern planes" which go back to WW2 (remember the first german jets) till now. Whatever you have will be useful ! Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Sorry HJA for the delay, been busy. I have put an inquiry into my daughter and she is checking her sources. As far as my schematic, I'll loan it to you, oh heck you can have it, I need an F-22 or a JSF to grace the thrown room walls. e-mail me your address or where you want it sent at labcorpus@camincargo.com.

SeaMonkey Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Jackpot! HJA, just heard back from my daughter, in her words, "I have a ton of pictures". Some maybe sensitive so she is getting clearence for release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
