Never seen a Russian bomber but yesterday I saw several B-1B’s landing here on Guam. They flew right over Ypao Beach at about 1500 feet with their gear down in broad daylight as we were swiming. One came by about every 2 or 3 minutes.

I see B-52’s there all the time but the B-1B’s are rarer.

These were also escorted by F-15’s which is rather interesting.

I was happy to NOT read they’d been used in a mission this morning.

Today it was V-22 Ospreys flying in to land. Those look really neat from the beach.

Reports say that B-1B’s are for bombing N. Korea if it comes to that.

Actually, we also have the ability to send B1s from Texas to any spot on the globe, drops bombs and return to Texas. Just takes a lot of refueling. Oh and, Dont mess with Texas.

I’m reading that S. Korean General Sun Lin Lee visited Guam recently to review the military assets available to deter N. Korea.

Lets hope there’s no need to use them.

Dude, you need to get off that island. If it flips over, you are in a world of hurt
