Kiz, is that B-1 wing still at Warner Robins AFB? I remember years ago, the F-15 wing at Dobbins converted over to B-1s and transferred to Robins. I had a friend who got to fly in an F-15 out of Dobbins years ago. Another friend also got a flight in a F-14 out of Dobbins. I would've given my left nut for a flight in an F-14 back then. Nowadays, I'd rather take a AC-130 out to a test range somewhere.

Cono,
I think they are. My cousin works at Robins on the retrofits when they come in. I'll ask him. Warner Robins was my first assignment when I joined the USAF in 1975.
