No, I never heard of that particular "incident" :-)

How did it happen? Did they land heavy with an IFE?

Just wondered if you knew about the B-1 the guys here at BIL Tower hung

the
for sale sign on on the nose wheel one Saturday morning after the plane
landed and burned up it's brakes. It was an RCA bird.

I'm the guy, I guess, that Dan Ford was talking about. I posted a

couple
of
days ago that the only skill I saw atrophy with age was..interest.

I
went
from flying B-1Bs to C-172s. I just couldn't get into it. I was

spending
$100+ to cruise at 20kts+ slower than B-1 touchdown speed. It's not

an
arrogance thing...it just isn't exciting enough for me to spend the

money
anymore.


Any chance you flew those out of RCA in the mid 90's?



No, I was at DYS from '86-'91 and '95-'97.
