B1 revovery at Diego Garcia

Hi folks,
Sorry for the link.(I now it is a binary news group. I toyed with
the pseudo idea of encoding the link for fun)

Here is a link regarding a B1 recovery which landed wheels up on
Diego Garcia. According to the text, the flight suit insert had a
problem.

Yep, saw those back in May when it happened. Worth re-posting though for
