Rapid City
When I used to travel to Rapid City, SD I would see B1's all the time. Two would take off and head north and within the hour two others would land. I always figured it was a changing of the guard kind of thing going on.

Yup. I have seen a lot of planes land and this one was without a doubt the slowest I have ever seen. Impressive.
Move along... Nothing to see here...

Buckley is a popular RON (Rest over night) station. It does't have a VOQ on base, so crews get to stay at a hotel off base. This changes how much money they get for the overnight, it's more. So, if you had the option between resting overnight at Buckley or Pete, which one would you choose as a pilot?
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
Swing Wing
The term is "variable geometry".
Vortex is a "mass casualty" exercise. The B1s are part of it. For "containment" in case of perimeter breach....
Ok, now back to my tinfoil hat.

Not true - Buckley opened transient quarters on base earlier this year. Per diem rates probably haven't changed though since there's no DFAC.
