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 shots Steven! Here is one of the Bones near the NTTR flying low and egressing from the ranges. Soon after, he made a 180 degree turn and headed back in to the ranges while being followed by an F-16 AGRS.

Thank you Jonathan. Did you spend any time at Coyote Summit? If so, did you get any photograph-able low passes?

Great shots Steven! Sorry for the late reply, but I didn't go to Coyote Summit. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, and up until the sortie was over, I didn't know exactly where it was (little to no phone signal around there). Me and my brother stopped at the base of Coyote Summit for a quick minute to look at it and there was a guy up on the top. I'm sure the B-1 would have looked amazing from there! I wonder if that guy took any photos or videos??

Very cool shot Steve, this paint shows better here than on the F16s at Luke because of there darker color.
