Through some crazy miracle of scheduling and logistics, she showed up at the airshow, and you could hear a pin drop as she flew over.
On the one hand, it’s jarring to think that this one plane was designed to deliver nuclear hell to enemies who (hopefully) would never even know she was coming.
On the other hand, it’s nice to know the mere existence of this aircraft helps prevent those same enemies from using nukes of their own. It’s sad to think that we need weapons like this at all, but it’s heartening to realize their deterrent power.
And from a pure design perspective, she’s a breathtaking example of what happens when brilliant humans are given the resources to produce next-level technology.
Over 3 decades after she first flew, she still gives chills whenever she shows up, and I count myself lucky to have been able to witness her in person.
