About this time last year a B-1 launching out of Diego Garcia for a mission in Afghanistan had a similar thing. Not only electrical stuff and instruments failing, but engines dropping off line. Crew ejected below 10k ft from airplane that was inverted, flamed out and totally ballistic. No controls. Our tax dollars at work ....
