First of latest B-1B retirements arrives AMARG
First of latest B-1B retirements arrives AMARG
The first of the planned 17 more B-1Bs into AMARG arrived yesterday - anyone know which one it was? It came from Ellsworth.
Re: First of latest B-1B retirements arrives AMARG
I believe the B1 was 85-0066 unmarked " Markings removed."
