The Bone Schoolhouse - Dyess AFB *UPDATED*

Post by Ashley Wallace » Sun Jul 09, 2017 7:30 pm

Evening All,

Last October I travelled to Texas where I was fortunate enough to spend a couple of days working with the guys and girls of the 28th Bomb Squadron based at Dyess home of the mighty B-1. From someone who has an unhealthy obsession with the 'Bone', it has been something high on my to do list for a long time and it didn't disappoint. Here are a few images from the visit.

If you want to learn more on the 28th Bomb Squadron and what the B-1 Formal Training Unit is all about, I have written a feature in the August issue of Combat Aircraft Magazine which is available now!. http://www.combataircraft.net/the-magaz ... sueID=7187

Hope you like them!

Cheers,

Ash
