On the deck at 17:52
Howler 22 did a low approach to confirm with tower that the gear was down and locked
Then afterwards he circled back round for a normal ils landing for rwy 09
Hope this helps

FYI had tower on 246.35 and 124.8

Getting quite a lot of fire engine attention. I was driving past and then back maybe 10 minutes apart and stationary with fire crews investigating

His landing gear brakes where a smoking a bit when he landed ,probably a bit hot to
He as a precaution wanted to have the fire department follow him in on taxi just to be sure
Hope that all makes sense

Howler 22 had an unsafe gear indication. Declared an IFE following the low approach to get a visual inspection of the gear from the ground. After landing they elected to vacate the active and have the gear pinned prior to taxi.

On video posted this morning the front gear on one of the bombers looked to be smoking prior to take off.

I witnessed the same thing on the last deployment. Second jet seemed to hit the throttle whilst turning to line up, causing the front wheel to skid and smoke

That second B-1 (86-0124) seen on this mornings linked video induced some major tyre-scrub by turning the nosewheel full-on 90 degrees to travel direction at speed! Makes you wonder why they bothered painting the centre-line arc on the taxiway?

The jet showed its disregard for the PIC by refusing to engage afterburner on both the outboard engines, until multiple attempts & an apology had been tried?

Yes, I saw that too, its at 2mins in this video, he hits the afterburner briefly during taxi on the turn which is quite unusual!

3 minutes 15 into Jonathan Warner’s video shows it quite clearly. https://youtu.be/lSVT8uJvnwI?si=l_R-v0F0F2EVR4CE
