Apparently the USAF position is; "hey, we were going to build a bomber that
could fly to anywhere on the globe from the mid-west of the U.S. in under 3
hours and drop hundreds of near precision munitions from 200,000 feet with
impunity....but the technology to do any of that is not available now, so if
you make us design a bomber now, you're going to get an improved B-2".

In recent weeks Boeing engineers with tape measures have been observed
going over the British Concord on display at the Seattle Museum of
Flight. When asked Boeing officials would not explain this activity or
why the seats of the aircraft have been removed and what look like
bomb bay doors have been installed. Rumors are also circulating that
Boeing has put out an RFP for one set of very large decals printed
with "USAF BS-1". (BS - Bomber Supersonic)

With the recent flap over the Boeing 767 tanker contract could this BS
lead to a contract for more Boeing BS?
