Managed optics for Great Grandpa Joe.

I read somewhere that the B-1B's Achille's Heel was a weak airframe.

Since it was orginally designed to be a long-range strategic (nuclear) bomber, they gave it an airframe that was adequate for a few, long, high altitude missions.  The B-1B's use as a tactical bomber and for close troop support stressed its airframe more, and in ways, it wasn't designed to accomodate.  Frequent lower altitude missions casued the airframe to age out early.

If the B-1B had a durable airframe like the B-52 and the B-2, it would have a longer service life.

Sounds similar to efforts by Ukraine in the past year or so.

  Well, I've learned that Chick-fil-A has plans to open 9 new stores in the SF Bay Area (probably none near Oakland International).

  Guy Fieri’s Chicken Guy! restaurant chain will be expanding in Northern California, https://napavalleyregister.com/life-entertainment/local/food-drink/american-canyon-guy-fieri-chicken-guy/article_4faa9340-fddf-11ee-a7c4-df6b9e624888.html .

I know California-Bashers don't like to hear it, but only small areas of California resemble SF or Oakland or the Land of LA.

    A message from our Founder:

    TGP Communications, the parent company of The Gateway Pundit, recently made the decision to seek protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of Florida as a result of the progressive liberal lawfare attacks against our media outlet.

    This is not an admission of fault or culpability. This is a common tool for reorganization and to consolidate litigation when attacks are coming from all sides. It allows TGP to consolidate this lawfare in one court for ultimate resolution.

    Despite the radical left’s efforts to silence The Gateway Pundit through censorship, de-platforming, de-banking, cut-off from advertisers, and other financial strategies, we will not be deterred from our mission of remaining fearless and being one of the most trusted independent media outlets in America today. We do not expect that to change.
