Naturally his GPS isn't working.
Or are they looking for that 6th nuke?
At the bottom I have pasted info regarding the position of the General
conducting this search, just read it and tell me if he is more suited
to looking for a missing person or a missing nuke.
It doesn't take 6 hours to fly from Minot to Barksdale.
Oh, and where do you put Nukes if you are just transporting them, do
you mount them on the wing if you don't mean to launch them?
Or do you put them in the cargo bay, not sure but sounds off.
This from a forum posting:
-- We were TOLD these weapons were being moved to be decommissioned.
THAT IS NOT TRUE! This current USAF doc says the missiles are being
'refitted' to extend their service life until fiscal year 2030! These
are state of the art weapons. The service plan even includes upgrading
the W-80 warheads to keep them IN SERVICE.
-- If you read the first sentence below, you will see how the USAF
decribes these weapons as "designed to evade air and ground-based
defenses in order to strike heavily defended, hardened targets at any
location within any enemy's territory." Humm... What sort of operation
would require such ordanance?
-- We have only 38 of these weapons, so 5 of them is a large chunk of
the inventory to move at once.
-- It is MY OPINION that some 'patriot' leaked the info about these
weapons movements. A warning?
-- It is also my opinion these weapons were being moved for some other
reason, to *Barksdale*, and then possibly on to Diego Garcia, for
obvious reasons.
IT IS TIME TO BE VERY AFRAID! The UK intercepted 8 Russian bombers
yesterday, which has not happened in about 15 years. Syria fired on 4
or 5 Israeli aircraft that violated that violated Syrian airspace and
dropped fuel tanks in the desert... Dr. Strangelove is alive and well...

(snip}
AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missile (ACM) is a low-observable air-launched
strategic missile with significant improvements over the Air Launched
Cruise Missile B version (ALCM-B) in range, accuracy and
survivability. Armed with a W-80 warhead, it is designed to evade air
and ground-based defenses in order to strike heavily defended,
hardened targets at any location within any enemy's territory. The ACM is
designed for B-52H external carriage and there are currently 394 ACM
in the inventory. The ACM fleet design service life expires between
the years 2003 and 2008. A Service Life Extension Plan (SLEP) was
developed to meet an AF Long Range Plan requirement to extend ACM
Service Life to FY30.
Range Commanders Council (RCC) test range safety requirements
(RCC-319) and Department of Energy's (DOE) redesign of the Joint Test
Assembly (JTA) is driving modification of existing Joint Test
Instrumentation Kit (JTIK) test doors. Newly modified JTIK test doors
will incorporate Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking capability
and components removed from the redesigned JTA package.
Without modified JTIK doors, the ACM cannot maintain its DOE nuclear
certification, support the W-80 warhead Life Extension Program (LEP)
or conduct flight testing used to collect weapon system
reliability data.
The requirement exists to provide modified Test Instrumentation Kits
(TIKs) to support Functional Ground Test (FGT). FGT will provide a
critical capability to the Air Force and provide a means of testing the
ACM without the loss of an asset. These tests will provide important
reliability data for Service Life Extension analysis. Kit modification
and unique spare components will be procured to support tests in the
FGT facility.

Oh, and unrelated nuke contamitation info:
Over the next twelve years, 126 atomic weapons would be
atmospherically detonated above the * Nevada* Test Site, a
1,350-square-mile emptiness nestled inside the Air Force's top-secret
Nellis Air Force Base. Each of these [126] explosions would spread
roughly the radiational equivalent of Ukraine's 1986 Chernobyl reactor
fire across an unknowing America. . . .
In 1995, Werner published the first ever baseline environmental report
for the Department of Energy, "Estimating the Cold War Mortgage." his
report pointed out, among other things:
-In the United States alone, there are at least 10,500 radioactive
sites that need to be stabilized and secured for the indeterminate
future;
-There are no viable, long-term storage areas or plans;
-At current levels, if the DOE authorizes no more nuclear materials
creation, the maintenance of existing wastes until the year 2070 will
cost more than $230 billion.
