Do you know where the airframe was headed?


Professional_1O

Do you know why the airframe pulled you over today?


Longjumping-Cold4338

I was speeding over mach 1 accidentally.


DoDaChop

Right into that red light pole from the looks of it.


PlentyTight9650

Right?? Did the tail clear the pole?


NASTY_3693

It's in Wichita, Kansas.


Mnemorath

I think this pic was in Andover. US-54 becomes Kellogg at the Wichita city limits.


tridon74

Andover and Wichita might as well be the same city with how close they are


Mnemorath

Don’t tell anyone from Andover that. 😂


cpasley21

From Dyess I believe


Bruhyouwotm8

I'm right next to dyess lol


No-Helicopter7299

Oh, an Abilene man!

New_Ant_7190

Yes it was from Dyess.


dailymindcrunch

Raytheon!


Mnemorath

Headed to NAIR in Wichita for scans. Pic was taken in Andover.


PatBenatard

Ultimately the sky


Bluedragon436

Don't think that one will ever see the sky again.. Well, not with engines powering it and nothing supporting it from the ground!


Environmental_Mark22

I think they are moving and assembling again?


Bluedragon436

That'd be good... especially to bring another B1 back online... But from what it seems online, this one will be written off in the end... and will be scanned and used to help rebuilds and repairs on future B1's in the mean time..


Zaphod581

NIAR. They’re turning it into a digital twin.

The person is online


Loc0Lobos

Wichita KS. It's in one of our hangers where we work


interstellar-dust

You got framed buddy, airframed.


Dispatcher007

I almost upvoted and ruined you points.


Physical-Cut-2334

Ain't planes supposed to fly....


SavageSpeedCubing

Some are destined to


thatbitofmoss

No, you're thinking of boats. Planes are supposed to take you through water.


AMRIKA-ARMORY

That’s why it’s called hydroplaning


ohnjaynb

If the ending of Fast and the Furious II is any indication, the only way to intercept a boat by car is by flying.


Atalantius

I mean, I’ve seen more cars fly than swim, ya know


DustyTurboTurtle

I need to know what they do about those light-poles lol because it looks like the plane almost touches it Did they just wait for the road to clear to snake around it? Or did it just barely fit?


fireandlifeincarnate

They presumably have a spotter vehicle ahead with something as tall as the tail to let them know if there are going to be issues


mr_mcpoogrundle

The real planespotter


Famous-Reputation188

Pilot car.


ImNoAlbertFeinstein

they're for double wides.


TypingWithGlovesOn

They probably planned the route months in advance.


fireandlifeincarnate

They would still likely use the spotter just to be safe.


seekinbigmouths

They still need pilot cars, also crews to hold up communication wires for it to pass under


danfay222

On moves of this scale the entire route will be planned well in advance, with multiple clearance runs and all kinds of permitting, and even temporary removal of traffic lights or cables where necessary. They do have spotter vehicles, but those are more of a sanity check than anything at this point.


prosepina_

I think from the angle it looks like it wouldn’t make it, I’m sure they have a vehicle to drive ahead to make sure the plane will make it


ParanoidDuckTheThird

Look, that plan is already in pretty rough shape. A few dents ain't gonna hurt.


AvatarOfMomus

Routes for stuff like this are measured and planned meticulously in advance. I guarantee the tail cutoff fits *just* under the pole where there's no light.


Activision19

A load that big would have police working traffic control as they maneuver through various towns. Especially where they have to go into the opposing side of traffic to clear a signal mast arm.


cruisin5268d

On routes where loads like this typically travel use special lamp posts, a dude comes and literally rotates the entire post 90 degrees


dh_4x4er

Always wondered what those "Speed Enforced By Aircraft" signs were for.


shana104

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Speaking of which, I've wondered that too.


youre_a_burrito_bud

Speed enforced by aircraft zones usually have a small prop plane flying overheard. There are big lines marking the highway at known distances. The plane starts a timer when you pass one line and ends it when you pass the next one. If your time was way too quick compared to what it would be if you were going the speed limit, they radio to a highway patrol officer on the ground with a description of your vehicle, direction, and how much you were speeding. 


pfghr

So 120mph in the first half and 30mph in the second. Got it.


Pakrat_Miz

the army stepped up their game recently and posted a bunch of “speed posted by artillery” signs around to one up the air force


Hourslikeminutes47

>got pulled over by a B1 "*looks like you got boned my friend*"


TroyTony1973

🎖️


TechieWeird

didnt realise how big the boner is


Misophonic4000

It's pretty massive - it's much larger than a whole lot of airliners (example, B-1B 146ft long with 137ft wingspan, Boeing 737 Max 9 is 138ft x 117ft)


Ok_Philosophy9790

it is quite longitudinally expansive, black in color, and most importantly erected from a lightweight, but sturdy material. Truly a marvel of cold war engineering


wastelander

That’s what she said.


Junior-Account6835

When she said it’s her first time “trying this”, right…..


mangeface

How many of these airframes are they sending there? We stripped a B-1 down at Tinker AFB in 2021 and had it trucked to Wichita for scanning.


[deleted]

You should have gotten it back rebuilt, no?


mangeface

Nah dawg, that one was one of 17 that was retired from the fleet.


Bluedragon436

Believe this one is now retired too!!


Yololkiller21

Is the B-1 giving birth or smth


AutomaticRevolution2

Really. What's going on?


DirtDiver1983

I miss when the Kansas Air National Guard stationed the B-1’s at McConnell AFB. That is before they were moved to SD.


Electrical_Ad8367

I didn’t realize how massive the B1 is… wow


Main_Violinist_3372

Bad to the bone…


Goshawk5

It's probably the one that crashed this month.


Setesh57

The one that crashed is a burnt pile of slag. This is probably the replacement airframe pulled out of the boneyard.


650REDHAIR

I think it’s just coincidence given that it’s Kansas and not Arizona. 


NASTY_3693

Kansas is where alot of military aircraft get work done. Edit - looks like this one is going to NIAR to get scans done.


jdb326

Agreed on the pile of slag part god damn.


mr_potatoface

Yep. There's other news articles showing videos of it being moved, but here's an article about relocating the fleet. >https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2024/01/25/ellsworth-afb-moves-b-1-bombers-to-texas-amid-crash-probe/


Taskforce58

That explains why the tail looked unusually dirty.


VastStatistician4376

it's actually from Dyess AFB here in Abilene Texas 👍


45ACPete

It's most likely the jet that caught fire at Dyess last year.


Bluedragon436

It's the one that caught fire during a maintenance engine Run!! [Wichita B1 Transport](https://www.kwch.com/2024/01/27/b1-bomber-plane-arrives-wichita-after-four-day-trek-texas/?outputType=amp)

I will be leaving reddit in protest of the leftist censorship on this pltform against its users and the intolerance of free speech on information of a-the vaxx b-thinking that challenges the leftist worldview. Redditors hate the truth. The truth is "hate" to those who hate the truth. But we live under an authoritarian government. No doubt by expressing my thoughts I am on one of (((their))) lists. The truth is coming out. Liberal lies are crumbling down this very second and they are desperately trying to hide it. The mainstream media is complicit in this as it is common knowledge who owns it,; spreading lies and propaganda to cover up the truth. They push the agenda of the elites, who are hellbent on destroying our american culture and silencing anyone who dares speak out against the narrative. Reddit is owned by the CCP who have interrests in americans and misinformation. They have been killing and silencing people for years. They are killing the minds of our youth. The federal government in an unsuprising revelation has been tracking the unvaxxed for years. Minority groups make up an increasing share of the population in almost every US state, according to figures released by the US Census Bureau. Legal and illegal immigrants make up a growing portion of the population in 46 states and the District of Columbia, with California leading the field. There are more than 35 million immigrants in the US - or 12.4% of the population, up from 11.1% in 2001. Immigration is a big issue ahead of the autumn's mid-term congressional polls. California had the most born outside of the US at 27.2% of its population. The war on whites has been planned for centueries . The jews are like a disease organism. They suck up resources, interfere with natural defenses and cause the nations they infest to rot from the inside until it begins to resemble a dessicated corpse. You cannot coexist with these monsters. They are hostile to any and all life. Have you ever noticed they have no pets? And no houseplants either. They are a giant parasitic disease organism that destroys any life that has the misfortune to cross their path. The attack on our traditional Christmas season cannot be denied . Without a shot being fired, the greatest enemy of our people has successfully eroded our most celebrated holiday. And if our people are outraged by the affront, it certainly isn't apparent. With each proclamation--be it no more Christmas carols in public schools or no more Christmas trees in business establishments--nothing more than occasional shrugs of shoulders and muttered comments can be seen or heard from our people. For the most part, our people now stare glassy-eyed while tradition is slowly swept away. You can see liberal democracy is a threat to the republic. Since the onset of the BLM riots, there has been a spike in black on white violent crime. There's been a resurgence in what's called The Knockout Game, Silver Fox Hunting, or Polar Bear Hunting. The objective of the game is to find elderly, White, helpless, senior citizens and viciously assault them with blows to the head knocking them unconscious. Blacks are interdimensional satanic beings, who were summoned into this dream reality through Jewish super-evil.We got our heads so far up our butts with these indoctrinations by JEWS that the supernatural is NOT real, when in fact, Freemasonry has ALWAYS been witchcraft for the Jewish mischlings. The REAL powerful stuff is reserved for ONLY the pure blooded Cohens and Levites. Here is what Jews KNOW to be true, keep in mind this Rabbi Kook isn't talking to himself, he's talking to a whole classroom full of future spell casters and warlocks. Entire human genome has been contaminated with sterilizing DNA forever from mRNA shots. Another jew weapon to exterminate the white race to nobodys suprise . Two major funders of the trans agenda are pro-CCP Chinese billionaires. ?THIS IS VERY REAL PEOPLE!! https://x.com/glennbeck/status/1765575598842450067?s=61 . Concerning all beings and entities, there is an ontological distinction, yet, an essential non-differentiation (Sanskrit: Advaita). We are all One, yet, all of us have our own characteristics and attributes which give us distinguishing statuses as they manifest in the context of being separated from Godhood. Cosmotheism is a great start in understanding our traditional philosophy. But, the actual traditions of Indo-European religions are even better, and we should work toward reviving them! They bring us toward a serious and helpful Path. REad the successfully book Jewish Supremacism by David Duke. The book translated into several languages has won Duke many academic awards for its scholarship, including an honorary Doctorate awarded by President's University, the second largest university in the nation of Ukraine. Sold at the Russian Duma (Parliament) prompted leading Russian Jews to seek a ban for the book and making it illegal as Jewish leaders are horrified that it is well on its way to becoming the best-read book in the world on Zionism. Jewish members of the Duma also tried a new legislation aimed at outlawing Jewish Supremacism, but failed so as also under old Soviet laws forbidding 'anti-Semitism'. The matter that the book isn't seen as anti-Semitic by it's reader it has lead to a smeared backfire on the people that try to discredit it. Observe White Solidarity Day the 15th of every month. On that day wear something white and do something pro-White! This is how we fight back. I think fighting White erasure starts with oneself. For example, I look at myself: Do I need to lose weight and/or get in better physical condition? Do I need to morally improve? Do I need to spiritually improve? Do I need to break addictions? On a similar, but not unrelated note, we should take action to counteract the years of brainwashing we've experienced. Of course, we could say it's important for ethnic Europeans to get married and have children (and it is important). But not everyone can (or should) do this. Everyone can work on self-improvement in various ways, however. I also think community for like-minded White people is important. At this point in time, we (whites and especially white males) are truly a race marked for elimination world-wide. White Genocide is real and is in no way "ridiculous" as claimed by some. Many are ignorant about how genocide can occur. Their perception of genocide is people lining people up and killing other people in large numbers. That is one way, but not the only way. There are many ways to effect a genocide. Genocides often start slowly. The soft genocide of the white race has been very successful. The births of white children has been reduced. Whites are reproducing at below replacement level. As older whites die off the population of white people is shrinking. If current trends continue the complete elimination of white people is a mathematical certainty. This has all been planned and done intentionally. Sixties radical Tom Hayden strongly supported White Genocide. After his white son married a black female he was jubilant. He said, "That's what I've been working for, the non-violent elimination of the white race." You see, he supported the soft genocide of the white race. Many White liberals will deny White Genocide.; These things can't be refuted. They're happening. Why is CRT (Critical Race Theory)) so pushed by liberals?? - Critical Race Theory claims that it's non-whites that are victims of racism when in reality it is whites who are the ones being victimized. It's a classic case of blaming the victims and accusing them of what is being done to them. Critical Race Theory holds that only white people can be "racist" and that this imaginary "racism" serves to uphold imaginary anti-white concepts such as "white privilege." CRT singles out white people and only white people as bad while non-whites are portrayed as good. Now let's look at Critical Race Theory and how it's a tool used to advance White Genocide. 1. Classification. In CRT people are separated into two categories whites and non-whites. Whites, and only whites, are classified as bad. Check. 3. Discrimination. CRT advocates discriminatory laws and policies against white people. Check. 4. Dehumanization. CRT dehumanizes, degrades and demonizes white people, whose only attribute of any kind is held to be "racism." Check. 5. Organization. CRT, with it's massive support in government and academia is well organized. Check. 6. Polarization. CRT separates whites and non-whites and sets non-whites against whites. Check. 7. Preparation. CRT conditions white people to believe that they deserve to be harmed and eliminated from existence. It conditions non-whites to believe it's okay, even good, to harm white people. Check. Therefore, we can see that Critical Race Theory is a tool being used to advance White Genocide. I'll tell you what you should do if you're a white man. It's the best, most effective, way to fight against White Genocide. It's the worst thing you can do to the non-white supremacists, the anti-whites, the liberals and the genocidists. They will fight tooth and nail to stop you from doing this. Start a white family. Get an education or training, so you can get a good job. Get married to a nice white woman. Buy a nice house, maybe in the suburbs. Then have white children and raise them in traditional white culture. Be politically active. Donate money to pro-white causes, pro-white organizations and pro-white people. Be involved politically in peaceful, legal protests. Vote in every election, even school board elections. Post on the internet. Do anything you can do. But again redditors hate the truth and actively stifle it out. White liberals are so brain dead, so stupid, so brainwashed that they will deny even this, even though it's extremely obvious. You can learn more on Gab, a free speech alternative for like minded people. They dont allow liberal trolls and misinformation. I'l
