The Air Force Accident Investigation concluded the pilots forgot to lower the landing gear. The USAF estimated the damage to the B-1B at $7.9 million, and the damage to the runway at $14,025

"Don't worry, it'll buff out." Wow, an 8 million dollar buff job.

Also I'm wondering why the B1-B requires six pitots? Is that in case five get shot off?
