I only got to see a dozen or so take off loaded to party...buy my work was under ground mostly making those target packages...got to see some of my packages first hand in iraq when i finally got there on newer mission in 05...love the b1...acually i have a spot for all proper bombers . B17 to b2...all cool in my book...one cool thing i got to was check out the B2 hangars at whiteman back in 2003...super cool seeing em up close and getting to touch em...they feel funny compared to other acft
