FPP066 - B-1 Lancer

Bomber Month marches on with the former Rockwell (now Boeing) B-1 Lancer. This week, retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel Chris "Wacky" Wachter joins us to talk about the bomber canceled by one president but reinstated by another in a role quite different from what was originally intended. The "Bone," which in many ways is unlike any other bomber--such as swing-wings and afterburning engines--remains a vital part of the U.S. arsenal employing a wide array of weapons in a host of missions. Here is a link to the article regarding a "Bomber for the U.S. Navy" as mentioned during the interview. Bumper music by Jaime Lopez / announcements by Clint Bell.
