B-1B 86-0113 “Jagged Edge” of the 9th BS “Bats” based at Dyess AFB arrives as Sabre01 at Tinker AFB after declaring ife due to a gear issue. Emergency personnel responded on the runway, cleared them, and the crew was able to taxi back safely. 🙏 Thankful for our amazing crews.

The French E-3F Sentry made its first appearance at #riat2025. It appears to get a bit out of shape doing a wingwave arrival. More here: youtu.be/emL0K4ALLZI?si=B3kg…
