B-2s to the Guard

[BengalsFan]

Anyone out there in the St. Louis Guard.

When are you guys transitioning to the B-2 mission? Also are most of your guys staying with the unit through the transition, or are you fighter guys not okay with the change?

I've got a few buddies down there at Whiteman right now, obviously on active duty... just wondering what the feeling was down there?

The B-2 is going ANG ??

The way I understand it is that the St Louis guard, who is currently F-15s has been notified that they will change their mission to the B-2. The B-2s will still be active duty, but the guard will also operate them. That is how I understand it, but I am writing on here because I just heard about it, and am simply trying to see if anyone else has more/better/concrete info.

GO BENGALS!!!!

I'm actually going back onto active duty. I don't trust the airlines right now, not to mention that I am pretty young (about 2000TT) and I have sent my app out to about 20 places, and no phone calls. So I'm going back to AD and I will probably try the civilian route again after I retire...
And I am from Cinci originally...

Have they already approved you coming back? I thought they were paying folks up to 100 grand to leave. Good on you if you make it!

I think the same thing is happening with the RIC F-16 unit wrt to Langley.

Is the B-2 the fastest airplane in the Air force? I was waiting in the terminal the other day and ended up talking to some dude who had flown it. He said they cruised around at Mach 3. I thought this was kind of funny since he didn't look like an Air force guy.

Is the B-2 the fastest airplane in the Air force? I had heard it can cruise at over MACH 3.

That's without the afterburners lit.
