89th Airlift Wing (Air Force One)
I apologize in advance if this is in a thread somewhere else already. I tried searching, but apparently the words "air force" (go figure) and "one" are pretty common on this site...If there's another thread already, I'll gladly take this there. I was wondering what kind of an assignment working Air Force One is. I would imagine is a pretty prestigious one, and probably also a small group of people, which when combined, make it mighty tricky to get into. Anyone BTDT? Probably some great stories and would make a great book.

B2 Crashes in Guam
Does the B-2 have a rudder? Pardon my ignorance, but I thought that was the whole point of the no-tail thing. Or is it just a non-traditional rudder?

Looks like it was fixed and is still flying out of Barksdale https://www.barksdale.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123024862

B2 Crashes in Guam
OK, maybe the no-tail design on the B-2 is not as revolutionary as I thought. That's badass.

B2 Crashes in Guam
Glad the guys are ok. One thing that strikes me is that fact that this is the first ever crash of a B2. Considering how radically different the aircraft design is from pretty much everything else, I think that's pretty amazing. With the V-22, there's a lot of screaming about the crashes, until people (correctly) point out that crashes are not unusual during the development of new aircraft as the bugs are worked out. That it was accomplished in the B2 with no crashes (and going on 20 years now the thing has been flying), its pretty cool. Any other airframes have similar records?

Spy sat to hit North America?
But you don't spray it all over yourself, which is what they were concerned could happen should the thing come down in a populated area.

Dying for tickets
That's the problem -- she'll likely never have such a realization. "We did whatever we had to do to win." No apologies.

Dying for tickets
And the poor little 6 year old girl, who likely had nothing to do with the lie, now has to have the disappointment of losing the tickets, which she was probably pretty excited about, not to mention dealing with having a major douche as a mother.
