WASHINGTON — The Air Force has inspected more than two-thirds of its B-1B bombers since a crash destroyed one of them in Texas last week, officials said Tuesday.
Lt. Col. George H. Peck of the Strategic Air Command said that 63 of the 85 long-range bombers on SAC bases had been inspected as of Tuesday, and no problems had been found.
On Nov. 8, a B-1B crashed and burned in a field near Dyess Air Force Base. The Air Force has refused to speculate on the cause of the accident.
