Crew Failures Primary Cause Of US B-1B Bomber Crash At Ellsworth Air Force Base

Posted on by Guest authors

The Air Force Strike Command has determined that multiple crew failures, coupled with terrible weather and a last-minute brush with wind shear, caused the crash of the B-1 Lancer bomber in January. Following the loss, to maintain the fleet size, the Air Force responded by bringing the B-1 Lancer ‘Lancelot’ out of retirement. Less than 60 B-1 Lancers remain in operational service in the Air Force.
