I heard that a B-1 also FOD'ed 5 F-16s, I think it happened at Nellis. They were calling the B-1 driver "the first F-16 ace." I'll try to find the article.

I don't think that National Guardsman will taxi behind a B-1 again! | |

[Control Tower] Alpha wing, you're cleared for take off.
[Control Tower] Bravo wing, you're cleared for take off.
[F-16] Copy that.
[B-1] Copy, hitting the juice.
[F-16] Mayday ! Mayday !
*Crack*
[F-16] WTF ? Who's the SOAB who ordered them to... | |
