The answer to the trivia question is, of course, "it depends." It depends
on a whole host of circumstantial factors -- which jet, which targets, which
weapons, range to target area, tankers available etc etc etc. BUT, I was
glad to see the Navy finally get on-board with the SDB program since ONE B-1
can carry 288 of 'em. If the CV boys could only carry the heavier iron (at
3-4 per jet) -- do the math...

I'm not 'ice', guess you aren't either..gotta love the ng....
I know you're not 'ice'. He posed the above question, you then replied
"One F-18,
after the B-1 gets bagged....", and I replied to you "Don't see why . . .
" etc..
Are we all clear now, about who was saying what to whom? ;-)
