The B-1B is a great example of a non-stealth aircraft that makes a big boom when its on a mission. I never did see the point of creating a stealthy nuke dropper like the B-2. If you're going to level-bomb or carpet-bomb an area, its fairly obvious that you're at war or something, so everything's on full alert, and patrols are going. Stealth has its uses, but I still think the B-1B has the advantage over the B-2 at being able to penetrate airspace at high speed, drop tactical bombs, and make its getaway. Good job finding the article

This plane is so cool, I wish I could have got some good photos of it from the air show. I was always in the wrong place or didnt have my camra.
