Remember a few months ago, the "Bone" that was dropped onto Diego Garcia without putting the gear down? She still has her dignity:

I'm assuming all that dust when the nose gear came down is part of the composites..I'd hate to think of all the nastiness in there.

Nice pics though.

I was told by the B1 guys that most of what was in the wheel well was the runway. The aircraft was in fairly good shape for something that big comming down that hard.
