“Stick or yoke?”
The pilot and copilot both have fighter-style stick and throttle controls.

I got to watch some B-58s do “touch and goes” while stationed at Whiteman AFB in the late 60s. They had a huge runway with no traffic as missile base. I thought that steam operated base would be the first to be shut down but now modernized for the B-2.

There were 150 Minuteman II ICBMs at Whiteman. Most of the silos have been imploded but I think a few are still there.

Can the FB-111 be squeezed in there? More of a medium bomber but a damn fine looking airplane, almost like a miniature B-1. Aussies loved them.

The B1 is now Facebook-capable. About damn time.

Thanks for the ping. When I saw the title, I thought they were upgrading the aircraft, not just the computers.
