2021-03-05 22:34:41 UTC

2021-03-05 22:34:45 UTC  

i might be bias

2021-03-05 22:34:53 UTC  

Oh that's awesome.

2021-03-05 22:34:57 UTC

2021-03-05 22:35:03 UTC  

that's badass

2021-03-05 22:35:08 UTC  

Mhm

2021-03-05 22:35:10 UTC  

What was the longest mission he flew? If you know?

2021-03-05 22:35:14 UTC  

F-15s, T-38s, B-2s

2021-03-05 22:35:22 UTC  

I wanna say 40ish hours

2021-03-05 22:35:32 UTC  

He was also a weapons engineer

2021-03-05 22:35:49 UTC  

He retired at Lt. Col

2021-03-05 22:36:05 UTC  

He worked the last 5 years at a desk job tho-

2021-03-05 22:36:14 UTC  

he now flies for SWA

2021-03-05 22:37:06 UTC  

That's a long ass mission.

2021-03-05 22:37:07 UTC  

those are the ones that only got a total of like 34 produced, right?

2021-03-05 22:37:23 UTC  

21.

2021-03-05 22:37:27 UTC  

ah

2021-03-05 22:37:30 UTC  

still

2021-03-05 22:37:37 UTC  

They're making a replacement for it.

2021-03-05 22:38:19 UTC  

The prototype, if things go to plan, will be flying later on this year.

2021-03-05 22:43:38 UTC  

Yo that's cool

2021-03-05 22:58:38 UTC  

Yeah

2021-03-05 22:58:45 UTC  

The cockpits are roomy

2021-03-05 22:58:51 UTC  

they have a little toilet in the back

2021-03-05 23:02:06 UTC  

they aren't super sonic are they?

2021-03-05 23:03:56 UTC  

No

2021-03-05 23:03:59 UTC  

But they don't need to be

2021-03-05 23:04:06 UTC  

They have long range and good cruising speed

2021-03-05 23:04:20 UTC  

Payload capacity is about 60k i think

2021-03-05 23:04:44 UTC  

I believe my dad helped design the two 30k pound bombs that it could carry

2021-03-05 23:05:07 UTC  

idk I think the one shot down in ('63?) would argue that it could use it

2021-03-05 23:05:42 UTC  

I'm just saying, supersonic shit would be cool

2021-03-05 23:05:53 UTC  

No

2021-03-05 23:06:00 UTC  

No B-2 spirit was ever shot down

2021-03-05 23:06:17 UTC  

So far, only one was lost

2021-03-05 23:06:18 UTC  

tho

2021-03-05 23:06:27 UTC  

it blew up on landing i think

2021-03-05 23:06:29 UTC  

maybe takeoff

2021-03-05 23:06:29 UTC  

what am I thinkin of then?

2021-03-05 23:06:32 UTC  

1.4 billion
