Rockwell B1-B Lancer

85-0088 7th Operations Group Red Flag 16-1 Nellis AFB, NV USA

Megkezdi jövőre a USAF a B1-B Lancerek nyugdíjazását. A szaksajtó szerint 17 géptől “válnak meg” jövőre, igaz ezek (pontosabban 18db) jelenleg is az arizonai nap alatt állnak, már úgy tűnik mindörökre. A felszabaduló forrásokat a még fejlesztés alatt álló B-21 Raiderre költik majd. A B1-B flotta átlagos repült üzemideje 9701 óra és az utóbbi évek “a fejlesztési céltól eltérő” bevetési területei (így fogalmaz) nem tesznek jót a jármű struktúrájának, egyre jobban fárad a váz. Jelenleg még 62 B1-B-t van leltárban a USAF-nál és bár élettartamuk szerint 2037-ig üzemeltethetőek, valószínűleg már nem érik meg azt az évet, terv szerint a B21-nek egyszerre kellene leváltaniuk ezeket, a B2 Spiriteket és a B-52 Stratofortresseket is.
