Get close enough and a B-1B bomber can be intimidating,

especially considering its mission. Visitors to the Neptune

Festival Air Show got a look Saturday at an Air Force B-1B -

intermediate bomb bay doors and all. The air show continues today

at Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia Beach, where Gates open at

9 a.m., and high-tech action runs from 10 to 5. Admission and

parking are free; for details, call 433-3131. Today's schedule
