Toxn Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 That must be where I got it from! It sat in my phone's browser for days. Glad to assist I love how it's going to be a transport, fuel tanker, elint and bomber thanks to a modular bomb bay design. Imagine some poor soul being given the job of sorting all that out.

xthetenth Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I'm so sold on the idea of a big-ass plane able to travel the world handing out missiles and bombs to everyone like a big, black, evil Santa Claus. I think you mean white. Yes I still think launching standoff munitions at Mach 3+ from 70,000 feet gives some super cool capabilities, why do you ask?

Toxn Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Well, we've now conclusively established that B2 bats for the Black Panthers while XB-70 wears a pointed hood. Good job and memes all around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donward Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I always root for the Lazy B (Boeing) to win contracts because it helps my neck of the woods. But I'm just happy that there is at least a plan to build a Next Gen stealth bomber and here's to Northrop Grumman getting the job done. ... ... Dear God, get the job done before some Congress weasel kills the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
