Next question, would anyone be able to confirm the nose art on 0136?

Cheers again,
Ollie.

Photos now appearing on social media show it to be an outline of the state of Texas with a B-1 head on and a windsock in the colours of the Texas state flag.

I thought I read "Key City Bomber" across the front art piece - although not 100% on the first word unfortunately. Looks like there's 2 sets on the port side, a colourful one as mentioned and a darker set behind I couldn't make out at all.

Thanks both. The darker one behind it could just be the 28th BS logo.
