Ever wonder what a B-1B Bomber looks like after it has landed without the landing gear down?
The pilot(s) forgot to lower the landing gear. Air Combat Command has the story, and more pictures can be found here.

In other news, two former B-1B pilots have been appointed base beautification officers for Diego Garcia.

Reminds me of the caution of my flight instructor years ago- for a civilian fixed wing license- that “there are two kinds of pilots- those who have landed with the wheels up, and those who ae going to land with the wheels up.” Anyone aware of the origin of this phrase? I would love to hear the flight recorder onthis one.
