di1630 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 What is a point of making a "first" DT flight - a public event? I’m Gonna guess there’s a simulation environment that was built just for this thing and that 69% of testing was done before it rolled off the line.

Pooter Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Love all the secrecy about the design of the B-21s ass end.. only to have it photographed in hi-def from all aspects in broad daylight the second it makes its first flight. Oh and surprise, it looks exactly like everyone thought it would. Makes the unveiling where they wheeled it 10 feet out of a hangar at dusk to transformers music seem especially stupid now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imma be honest: flew the C in UPT and PIT; getting to go back into the A for AdAir was awesome. Loved that jet; they can keep the C and PMP. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vito Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) Huggy, It may do those guys some good to go back to old school flying. I’m sure by the time the B-21 is in service, the T-7 will replace those -38’ Alphas anyway. Edited November 13, 2023 by Vito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering when Boeing's next delay will be announced. As of a year ago, plane didn't have an internal ladder, and the side of it wasn't stressed to hang a ladder on it.

Boeing pioneered the air refueling boom. Now they have the opportunity to revolutionize pilot ingress and egress methods by inventing the pilot ground handling boom. Boomer: Ready astern Pilot: Cleared to contact Pilot: Back 6, down 9, slow closure Boomer: Say numbers Pilot: Breakaway x3! Boomer: Check harness appears we had a brute force disconnect.

True but thank god she has that fine ass IYKYK)...especially given the history of the B-2 and her rear end. One ass hat senior general fell on his sword saying the B-2 "might" have to go low which led to a complete redesign, years of delay with massive cost overruns and a paltry fleet size of 21.
