I'll second Bill's comment! Any idea what's on the pylon? Never realized there was a hardpoint there.

Very nice series of RF 14-3 aircraft, Steve. The Sniper XR targeting pod really stands out on the Bone's chin.

Thank you Bill, Scott and Barry.

Scott, as Barry mentioned, the hardpoint has a Sniper pod on it. It is my understanding that only 8 B1-B's were fitted with this special hardpoint/pod combo. Apparently, the B-1 was originally fitted withe several hardpoints to carry external missles, etc... But, due to some arms treaty, they were removed.

Thanks Steve. Somehow I missed Barry's description.

Great group of shots from Red Flag Steve, maybe someday I'll be able to join in on the fun.
