Worked around BUFF's for 4 years, but I always loved the B1.
I was already out when Carter canceled the program in 77, but 15 years after I left my last duty station, Dyess AFB had a squadron of them, still the 96th Bomb Wing.
In June 1985, the 96th received its first B-1B Lancer replacing the B-52 Stratofortress and in October 1986, assumed nuclear alert status. Since achieving IOC, Dyess has been recognized as the premier bomber training center and leads the fleet in maintaining the highest mission capability status of its aircraft, avionics test stations and support equipment.
