Internet provides plenty of resources on crash, plane

By DOUG WILLIAMSON / Abilene Reporter-News

The Internet provides many resources about the crash, Dyess Air Force Base and the B-1B bomber itself.

-- The Reporter-News World Wide Web site -- Reporter OnLine -- has extensive coverage of the crash.

"Within 30 minutes of the time the plane went down, we had the word on the Internet," said Danny Reagan, director of new media/technology at the paper. The pages will be updated. The B-1 crash page is at http://texnews.com/1998/local/b-oneindex.html/.

-- The Evansville (Ind.) Courier is the closest major newspaper. The paper will have coverage on its website at http://www.evansville.net/.

-- Dyess Air Force Base maintains an Internet home at http://www.dyess.af.mil/public/index.htm/.

-- The Air Combat Command's web presence is at http://www.acc.af.mil/. The B-1s are under the umbrella of ACC's operations.

-- Official Air Force information on the B-1B bomber is housed at http://www.af.mil:80/news/factsheets/B_1B_Lancer.html/.

-- Boeing has info at http://www.boeing.com/defense-space/military/b1-lancer/.

-- An encyclopedia entry on the B-1 may be found at http://207.2.56.10/encyclopedia/aviation/rpib1b.html/.

-- A fan of the B-1 has posted several pages in honor of the aircraft at http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hanger/3591/.

-- If you are looking for photographs of the bomber, look to http://www.spd.aetc.af.mil/ for a dozen of the best shots around.
