  • Profiles of the B-1: Crew Chief

    The B-1B Lancer can travel faster than the speed of sound and carry a payload of 75,000 pounds, which makes it far more complex than the wooden, gasoline-powered flyer the Wright brothers used. This elaborate configuration requires the B-1 to use a dedicated maintenance team to keep it in the air. "It takes a lot of hard work to get this jet to

  • This month in history: Black Hills explorer Jedediah Smith dies

    He was the quintessential mountain man one would find in any tale of explorers carving out the wild and untamed western portion of the United States.
