This print captures the majestic Rockwell B-1B Lancer 86-0114, also known as Wolfhound, of the United States Air Force's 319th Bombardment Wing, at RAF Mildenhall on a historic day in May 1989. The sleek and powerful aircraft stands proudly against the backdrop of the airfield, showcasing its impressive design and capabilities.
Little did anyone know that this very aircraft would meet a tragic fate years later during Operation Enduring Freedom. On December 12, 2001, while on a mission just north of Diego Garcia, it crashed in a devastating turn of events. Despite its untimely end, this photo serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and dedication of those who flew these incredible machines in service to their country.
The detailed image captured by The Peter Butt Aviation Collection allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship and precision that went into creating such an iconic piece of aviation history. It is a testament to the skill and expertise of those who designed and operated these remarkable planes.
As we reflect on this bittersweet moment frozen in time, let us honor the memory of all those who have served aboard this legendary aircraft with courage and valor.
