What day is it?
Had a cousin that was on the back of B1s before he went to UPT said that on long missions they just laid down in the walkway to take a nap.
I watched a couple B-1s take off out of Anderson in After burner..... friggin awesome.There are some tough mean airplanes. The 105, Hustler, F4 and A10 come to mind.
However, my votes are the B1 and the F111. I give the B1 the edge only because it has a crapper and an oven.
Both are:
Loud
Fast
Can lay down the metal
Look angry
So far everyone has neglected to add the most truly BA military plane ever, the XB-70 Valkyrie. Think the SR-71 and it's two monstrous engines and speed was great? Well how about 6 of them? A Mach 3+ Bomber designed to visit the Ruskies and give them a bad day. Only two were ever made and after one was lost in a mid-air they stopped flying them. The surviving example is in the AF museum annex at Wright Patterson AFB in Ohio.

Why did they stop flying them though. Completely bad ass

I think Joe Walker was killed in the XB-70 mid-air. Why did they stop flying them though. Completely bad ass
