Uncle Sam's B-1B goes very very fast at very low level and for a very long time, plenty of go-go juice in the big bomber with internal fuel bladders in one of the bays
believe nothing (!) can catch it on the deck at max dash, even reaction time for manpads, Hawk or Patriot virtually nil when using the terrain contours correctly
my suggestion, a sharply coordinated squadron strenght lowlevel flyby downtown Bagdad at the early hours before opening the ground assault
also, wan't the now Museum piece TR-1 orso a mach 2 thing at the deck?
