FA-86 had a miscoded box showing as "FA-91", much to the relief of many...

I know the man who organised it and it was OK'd by USAF, but I'm assuming it was scuppered by the types atrocious maintenance issues coupled with only 4-6 flying at any one time the B-1 was in my mind a non starter.

[Tarnished1]

Crikey, I wonder what Tu-160 Blackjack maintenance issues are like then!

i also heard from the organisers that the b-1 was given a go ahead for the flypast but must not of happened, so my leg is unpulled
