Not in thirty years? We are wise to consider this within the context of the Ukraine Conflict?

"Pre-Loaded Bombs Installed On B-1B Lancer Bomber For First Time In 30 Years"

January 29, 2023 | DAVID CENCIOTTI.

"Weapons Loaders at Dyess Air Force Base revived a capability unused for three decades."

"The U.S. Air Force has recently released some interesting photos showing the activity carried out a Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, earlier this month. In fact, on Jan. 9, 2023, personnel of the 7th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron used the Launcher Load Frame (LLF) to pre-load a munition package that was then loaded on a B-1B Lancer."

Photos as released intentionally without question!!

"The concept for pre-loading munitions has been around since the B-1 first entered service but has gone unused for 30 years until 7 AMXS resurrected the capability. Using LLF, weapons loaders can pre-load munitions on a launcher, under the cover of a facility, prior to transporting the entire launcher/munition package to the flight-line for loading on the aircraft."

As for releasing images of the loader [LLF] "released intentionally" you the devoted reader to the blog decide for yourselves.
