[MilCom] Fwd: [MilRadioComms] B-1 Bomber emergency at Patrick AFB

[AllanStern at aol.com]

The B-1's gear looked down when he flew by my  house; he is safely on the 
ground now. They are going to tow him off. Comms with  tower now on 269.375. 
Says smoke coming off the jet's brakes is perfectly  normal. Seems to be 
leaking hydraulic fluid tho.
