Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D., is the home of the 28th Bomb Wing and
its fleet of B-1B Lancer bombers. Their mission is to provide
rapid, decisive, sustainable combat air power around the globe. The B-1
is the backbone of America's long-range bomber force providing massive
and rapid delivery of precision and non-precision weapons against any
potential adversary. After landing from a training mission a B-1
is taken through its shutdown checklist by crew chiefs with the 77th
Bomb Squadron on Jan 9, 2002. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master
