$450 Million B-1B Lancer Crash Attributed to Crew Failures and 'Degradation of Airman Skills'

A B-1B Lancer valued at more than $450 million that crashed in South Dakota at the start of this year missed the runway by 100 feet, a mistake accident investigators attributed to the aircrew's shortcomings as well as the poor training culture within units at Ellsworth Air Force Base.
