Sorry, I left behind the aspirations of being crew chief to one awhile ago..
..all this reminds me, though..
I got to see a B-1B repeatedly (also sequentially) breaking sound on a really humid day, and really, really (extremely - how much more can a empahsize?) low altitude last summer.. Little puff-puff cotton ball thunder..
Damn me for not having the camera that day (or the battery was dead or some such nonsense..).

It's either an A, B, or C. The D and E variants are the two seaters, as those are the ones to which they added air-to-ground and all weather capabilities.
It's probably a C, since I think all the older A's and B's would have been retrofitted to C-specs by now.
The F-15 is a sweet plane... before the D came out, they used to say "Not a pound for air-to-ground"... it was truely an air seperiority fighter... probably the last one we'll ever make. Now days, if it can't do both, it's inefficient. But with planes like the SuperHornet and F-22, and of course the late model F-15's, you can have air superiority *and* a capable attack platform.
/me loves him some military aircraft.
