A 🇺🇸 U.S B-1 Lancer bomber from Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota crashed Thursday, and all four of its crew members ejected, the Air Force said.

The B-1 crashed "at approximately 5:50 p.m. today while attempting to land on the installation. At the time of the accident, it was on a training mission. There were four aircrew on board. All four ejected safely," the 28th Bomb Wing at Ellsworth said in a statement.

At the time of the crash, visibility was poor with freezing temperatures and low clouds, according to automated weather reporting equipment recording airfield conditions.

The B-1 is a conventional supersonic bomber that first came into service in the 1980s. It's been used to support the U.S. bomber presence in the Asia-Pacific region and to conduct close air support missions in U.S. operations in Afghanistan. It doesn't carry nuclear weapons.

While 100 were originally built, fewer than 60 remain in service, at Dyess Air Force Base in Texas and Ellsworth Air Force Base.

[color=black]The US has crashed more aircrafts in training this year than 🇷🇺 Russia that is fighting in a war has. More than 12 crashes in just the last 3 months.

🇺🇸 US military aircrafts are flying coffins. World's number 1 🤡 Army indeed.[/color]

You are always looking for bad news involving the US to post.

What a terrible obsession to have.

A proper investigation into your motive will reveal some religious brainwashing is the fire behind all these posts.

Lately, the American Airforce track record of handling their airplanes has really been poor. Too many crashes in recent times.

The news is of no importance to you. It's the messanger who's a problem.

Na wah, . This is becoming worrisome. So many US planes have crashed on just training of late and I hope it's not sabotage.

OP get other things to write please. This does not qualify for your mockery. Such crashes are found among airforces worldwide. Moreso, the Americans have much more than other nations. And by the way, your Russia will take several years to get to the present American air capacity.

Don't mind him,the report clearly stated that the weather condition was very poor based on the weather monitoring equipment,which is the most likely reason.
