I once was an Offensive Avionics Tech on the B-1. 👍🇺🇸 Ellsworth, AFB South Dakota 2000 "P"

Palmdale. 1987. I was driving eastbound on HWY 14 on my way to Edwards AFB. I was nearing the Rosamond turn off. COMING UP FAST, up the lake bed, a large aircraft was on FULL AFTER BURNER, maybe 100 feet above the desert. It was a B-1. I said out loud "It's a B-1!" As soon as it got to my car it suddenly punched up 70degrees into the bright blue sky. My car SHOOK violently as it blew by. The sound was incredible. Louder than a SR-71. It takes a lot to impress me. That impressed me.

Quite simply one of the most gorgeous aircraft ever built….

Stationed at Ft campbell in the early 90's. our hanger was on the back side of the airfield. One day on lunch I lucked out to be under a B-1B taking off. Maybe 150' over me. I was blessed to have the sunroof off that day. What a memory.

And yet, the B-1 like the B-52 continues to fly, protecting our skies just as it did when first launched. I was just at Ellsworth AFB and what a beautiful site it is to watch these taking off and landing. Such an awesome aircraft.

The fact that the Air Force plans to keep the B-52 in service until 2050 says a lot about the value of the B-1.

I was one of those young rookie designer working overtime on this project on a Friday. Then coming to work on Monday, suddenly was told to pack up all drawings onto a cart to be destroyed. It was devastating.

never been this early and never heard of this aircraft so this is a double win for me right now

My favorite aircraft of all time. I've been up close and in the B-1 bomber. Unbelievable aircraft..

What a gorgeous airplane.....the most beautiful one the US ever made besides maybe the SR-71.

One of the most beautiful airplanes out there.

The B1B was a common sight in Wichita during late 80’s and 90’s. My next door neighbor was a pilot of this craft.

I always think the engines look like the aircraft has balls.

This video has by far the most detail on the B-1of any that I've seen. In addition to the bomber itself, the coverage of the politics was very interesting. I did not know that a secret revelation of the 'Have Blue' (F-117) to Brzezinski motivated President Carter to cancel the B-1. I'm glad the B-1 was produced (just checked, we have 45 in service) It's payload is amazing. Plus, its lines are so sleek that it easily wins the 'most beautiful aircraft' award.

As a kid I used to dream of being in command of a B-1. Stunning.

Love it or hate it,, you have to admit, the bone is a beautiful machine.

One night years I was parked on a country road outside Abilene, Tx. I heard a roar and saw long twin pencils of flame and thunder as a B-1 blotted out the stars overhead.

Love Mr Bones, Love the USA..! I'm thankful America has her mighty Military. Truly the Worlds Police Force for good..!

I live close to abilene. We have an air force training thing here. So we have B-1s over head almost daily. So slick airframes

The B1B was never used in the role that was used to justify its construction. Not once. Oh, it has bombed but the total amount of ordinance dropped by the B-1B is a tiny fraction of the bombs dropped by the B52, and the B1B has never had to face a tier 1 opponent .It was never used to attack Russia in a low-level penetration bombing mission and in fact has never flown a low-level penetration mission in combat. We spent billions building an aircraft and it was only ever used to do things the B-52 could have done. Meanwhile, the king of the skis , the venerable B-52, is still the most feared bomber in the world, and will be with us for another 25 years, long after the B1Bs have rotted in the desert.

I saw her in a hanger at Edwards air force base. She was in a corner under guard. She looked like a caged animal. It was don't let her out. This is one dangerous bird.

The bone is such a beautiful aircraft. Im glad i got to see first hand its might

Every year at Dayton Ohio air show one of these is on display. When they take off after the show the sound penitraits the air for miles!!

The bone still rocks.

B-52 will keep flying past B-1B's service life.....ultimately I think Carter is the one laughing in the end....

Those were the days when Aerospace Industry was producing alot of jobs. Also working alongside many designers from the Greatest Generation was an unappreciated highlight in my 27b years working in the Industry as a designer for 5 different companies on 21 programs. TODAY is a very diminished Industry. Miss being around creative and knowledgeable minds. - Stephen Skinner

I like this powerful bombardiers

Being owned by the u.s.a.f it will never be used to its fullest potential.

Such deadly beauty.

My Dad built what he called "THE POTTYCHAIR" held the fased radar at LTV (now Northworp Grumman) in the 1980'S at the Grand Prairie facility.

I think the B-ONE B deserves an update in the form of the B-ONE R!

Great video

I often travel through Abilene. When you hear the roar, you know it's a B1 Lancer. I have seen them many times taking off while on I-20.

At 10:17, not F-117 crew capsule, F-111.

Amazing ❤

I always looks the look of this plane

These videos go to show that nine of us civilians know much about such aircraft..but I believe there is tons of too secret Kool tech.. like this and more 🤔👍🙂

Fast and low, snaking through mountain valleys, eager to deliver its gifts to a recipient. A small RCS, and below radar level, as to keep it a surprise.

Gorgeous airplane , stunning lines

AWESOME

Going fast at low levels around 200 ft at machspeeds isnt easy the furmula design following function gave the aircrafts its blended wing body and shape

One should expect the b1 bomber be a classified area 51 project. From that I suspect that there was something more "effective" being prepared at area 51 at the time. Anyways...a very beautiful plane, just like the sr71

Some of the best plane designs resemble certain birds, the B1, with it's wings extended or swept back it looks like a living bird with a nasty bite.

Good video. Lots of original film. Only a few minor errors.

Why can't a variation of this amazing plane become America's new SST?

The first five minutes are great. After that, the video gets some new narration style and annoying, generic music. I don't get it.

Can you imagine how crazy a model builder would go if given the chance to build a full size mock up model? The model might even build it on the cheap to just be given the chance to build that big and real.

I HEARD and saw a B1 fly in Palmdale during P.E. WOW that thing was LOUD! Good looking but how was it different from the Valkyrie?

The first woman to fly while pregnant in the USAF is a B-1 pilot as is her husband and they flew supersonic while she was pregnant!

E tudo teve início com uma motocicleta pendurada no galho de uma árvore, assim Santos Dumont descobriu que seria possível equipar uma máquina com um motor

On the battlefield the iraqi army would surrnder to the sound of this aircraft just buzzing posisitions and is the stratigy the B1 pilots abopted durring the conflict these aircraft are feared and deadly

terrible volume fluctuations. otherwise a great documentary

What about the B-1B

❤❤❤ BEAUTIFUL LIKE MY FELICIA 😻

Sad how small the US military has become. Small bomber force, tiny Navy, Marines with no tanks... Well, its one way to not get into conflicts

B1 shouldn't be retired.

I recommend that The U.S AirForce extend the life of The B-1 Bomber. We need all of our assets as China is highly unpredictable and it is better to have an ace up your sleeve as a extra Bomber as you can maximise your bombing priority. With the B52, B-21, It would be a major game changer as China is on the march at expanding its military on a huge colossal scale. We need the B-1 as it is a proven aircraft.

Incredible what they built Just imagine what they have now. They will just 3D print. auto-cad prototypes designed with AI,

Very nice sir hi ji

Ben Rich more like Ben Dover lmao gottem

It was so heavy in it's final version that it HAD to fly at treetop level, LOL.

capt SS/sedan sontoloyo chevelle or damage.

The B-1 is a heavy bomber? I always thought it was a medium.

USAs B1 and the Russias White Swan physically look alike

Reagan got it restarted.

Isn't it quite the coincidence that the one russian guy in Jimmy Carter's cabinet (who got to see the prototype) advised to shut it down. And then shortly after it was recomissioned, the Russians built an almost mirror for themselves? (Though not at all a success)

This aircraft gives me a..... ... F Carter!! And Iran!!!!! I'm old. I hope you are too, someday.

B1 is the fastest aircraft in the world on the deck arguably

I honestly think this plane could dog fight if a pilot so needed to , I’d have had installed internal defense missiles as well a a Gatling gun as well as bombs , an truth be known it can still fly over Mach 2 I mean look at how top secret the F 22 is an I believe the 22 can fly faster than they say but you know it’s good to keep that secret for when an enemy pulls along side you an you shar down on the throttle an leave his but sitting at Mach 2.5 all the while you hitting Mach 2.8 2.9 Mach 3 ❤🎉

F1,11 electronic fox

중 러시아도 안 됨 특수 프로젝터데

if you are going to use the silly computer voice to narrate your videos can you at least get facts right? General Dynamics did not make the F-117 and the F-117 didn't have a crew escape capsule. The F-111 did.

Carter was so disgusting, so disgraceful. Thank heaven for Reagan.

Very interesting, Boeing (Böing) had been founded by German immigrants.

White Swan is better, stronger and bigger. Russian made. 👍

I would never rename a military base. I would name new ones

You need to get your facts straight…. The B-1 Bomber IS NOT a Supersonic Aircraft. Only the two prototypes were capable if supersonic speeds by using variable inlets for the engines but those were deleted on the production “B” models and remains a subsonic aircraft.

Could this plane take off from a carrier 🙃

Really hate these A.I. voices. If you expect me to watch your content, I expect you to not cut corners.

Since it is a bird, incubation is the proper term not gestation. That implies a womb.

B-1B is a great plane Tu 160 is a non sense heap of junk. Like a Chinese copy of an iphone

32:58 Is the plane burning off fuel or something?

Who calls it the Bone? Never heard that one.

Carter was not a visionary......
