The B-1B is such a beautifully sinister looking aircraft.

One of the sexiest planes ever designed

I worked for rockwell during the b1b production . Saw them fly almost everyday for a couple years. Everytime a b1 passed final inspection. The airforce pilots would do a flyby. Most the time it was .85 @ 300ft off the deck . But every once in awhile they gave us a real treat. 100ft off the deck .95 and a pretty roll as they pulled up and flew off .

Worked on them for 17 years loved the job never missed a takeoff when I wasn’t busy

Thanks for posting! The B-1 Lancer is a truly beautiful airplane.

To me, the BONE is one of the most beautiful planes ever built. Thanks for the vid 👍

I’ll never forget an airshow many years ago where a B-1 did a low pass. Loudest airplane I ever heard in my life.

That plane is insane! I've added that to my bucket list - I have to see one take-off!

We live near a major US airbase and you always know when the B1s go over. Shakes the whole house. Coolest plane made.

During the Iraq war, it dropped 40% of all the weapons but only flew 5% of all the sorties. It's a true beast.

Quality. Loitering around the Base certainly paid off.

I appreciate it that the video starts with the two taxiing to the runway, and testing rudder, flaps, etc. about half a second apart. What a beautiful ballet!

Anecdote: Back around 1998 my girlfriend and I were laying, butt naked, on the carpet in front of the fireplace late at night in my house in Macon GA. Suddenly an enourmous racket shook the house, stunned we ran to the back deck to look at the night sky and we saw the low clowds tinted in an orange and red color. I recongnised the noise, a B-1 playing a trick on the sleeping town... then we realised we were naked, outside in about 40°F...

Very hard to capture the snap, crackle & pop of afterburners, but you did well. Those lingering shots of the climb out are great

My father was a flight instructor USAF, TX in the mid 50s. Late in life I asked him the different planes he flew as we were on the way to his chemo appointment, he named so many that there was no way I could remember them all. We also spent 4 years in Hann AF base in Germany. When he got out of the military, he flew private corporate jets (Sabreliner). At his memorial service on the video at the end we played a Sabreliner taking off with that distinct sound, and the caption said Last flight and his name.

Pitiful how beautiful something so damned deadly really is. Weapons have an eeirie beauty. Take care, Airmen.

Impressive, just the right ambient light. Magnificant aircraft. I love the spool up, the exhaust nozzels close, the AB kicks in...flames, the exhaust nozzles open, more flames and the great crackling roar of those great GE F101's. The images and sounds of the greatest airpower the world has ever known. Hell Ya!

Badass. The framing of the first aircraft going to afterburner was absolutely serendipitous..

❤❤❤ONLY MILITARY JET THAT GIVES ME MAJOR GOOSEBUMPS EVERYTIME... JUST LIKE MY HEAVENLY FELICIA 💋💋💋😘😘😘

Most beautiful plane ever built.

Sounds like freedom to me!!! GO 🇺🇸

Nothing like a beautiful airframe driven by serious horsepower.

Love it! The raw visceral power is amazing!

Absolutely marvellous as the luminous afterburners are amazing on the B-1B Lancer !!! 😱🤩😎 Beautiful footage too.

A beautiful, powerful, sleek, magnificent BEAST. Love the B-1. Thanks for the upload👍

Stationed at Barksdale AFB and definitely seen my share of these BADASSES in ‘84-87🇺🇸

Wow Wow Wow. Just made my evening. F-ing amazing.

i love how its so loud and you're so close your microphone was completely spazing out

As always, such a top notch video of our beloved B-1 Bs! I would have loved to have seen it in person, but you provided the next best thing!

Saw one of these take off in Baghdad the night I left Iraq. One of my favorite memories from my military career.

What a beautiful bird.

Just wow! That 2nd B1B engine is basically a rocket! That sound 1/2 runway with headphones... OMG!

Birds from Dyess AFB TX. Thank you for this lovely, lovely portrait.

The most badass warplane! 🦾🦾🦾

Absolutely awesome. I love b1"s the sound of freedom

Most of the times I drive through Abilene, Texas, I am privileged to see these magnificent beasts (usually in flights of three) in the pattern doing touch-and-goes. I never get tired of that sight!

Brilliant footage of one of my Favourite Aircraft.!

My Dad was the lead engineer on the Air Force side that designed the engines. Vendors did their part too! So neat to see them in action.

How beautiful and how majestic.

very nice footage. Was lucky to witness it myself after two days of inactivity on the bomber front (had to leave homebound inevitably the day after again)... as sunset approached, we were in for a treat. Uploaded footage as well, I positioned myself a couple of feet further up the fence. Gorgeous sight and sound of these mighty planes !! Wish you many more spectacular B1, B52, B2, U2, ?? missions and video opportunities ! Keep those videos coming.

Such a beautiful airplane! Has to be the nicest clip I have seen of them taking off. Well done, and thank you.

Just when I thought the engines were at full thrust, it went to a whole new level of insanity! Brutal

When I was 7, this was my favorite swing wing. At 50, still mighty impressed by it. She still has it.

God bless America

I live in Cheltenham and heard this take off from there!! Knew immediately what it was - awesome sound, can't imagine what it was like at the airfield!!!

Beautiful

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 OH. MY. GOD. Epic beyond words bud. Absolutely outstanding

I could literally watch this indefinitely! Thanks for sharing.

I vecchi lanceri si fanno onore❤

These things give you the spaceship Star Wars feel!

Man I wish I could see a B-1 take off, brutal force 🤯

The Bone is such an awesome aircraft! People don’t realize how huge this plane really is! Great vid, thanks for sharing w us!!

Just WOW!!! 😯 Thank you for sharing! 🥰

Years ago I was living in a farmhouse. Pretty much way out in the country. I was outside one night and heard a rumbling overhead. Looked up in time to see a plane coming over fairly low. As it passed I recognized the configuration of the engines. Very exciting to have such a close call.

I love that ripple sound from around 3:15, sounds like the distant sound of a rocket at launch

Always loved seeing this up close and personal during deployments! Video is awesome, but feeling in person is crazy

That's awesome. I saw B-1B do that back in the 90's . BUT I had the pleasure of growing up near a SAC BOMBER BASE and until you've seen a flight of B-52's on a Red Alert Scramble fly directly over your house YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN !!

Excellent video. 30 years working in and around the BONE. I miss it. Thanks.

Thankyou to our military for keeping us safe ❤

This reminds me of the time when I was at an airshow in Abbotsford during one of the gulf wars. There was a B1 on display. About half way through the show it was announced over the PA that they were stopping the show because the B1 was being called up and had to leave ... NOW. I can't remember if they did an afterburner take off but they did do a afterburner low pass over show center. The ground shook and car alarms were going off.

Remember watching one of these monsters at RIAT 2000. The gates of hell opened up, the noise is insane! Was in awe and fear at the same time. An experience I'll never forget

Back in the 80’s I used to camp out in the Mojave desert with friends. We heard a rumbling noise, and turned around to see one of these coming full speed, wings back, hauling a$$ at about 100 feet above the deck. I never worried about nuclear war after seeing what that plane was doing, since if they ever tapped that plane for a delivery, someone would be kneecapped permanently. Praise to everyone involved in creating and maintaining that aircraft!

I lived near an AFB (a few blocks west of the standard flight path) where they were doing maintenance and structural repairs on the Lancers. Always an awesome experience seeing (and hearing) them. It also was pretty humbling to consider those living in war zones, hearing the planes and wondering in terror whether they were about to be bombed.

Beautiful and awesome after burners rock.

Know the feeling of the 2 T38 J-85 afterburners lighting off. Can’t imagine 4 of them lighting.wow

Best looking plane ever!

Amazing footage! Gutted I couldn’t get up there in time. Hope they do a couple more dusk/dawn departures

Dyes AFB in Abilene Texas. As a Canadian, I spent lots of time there in the 90's, working on the C130's power plants. The B1's are incredible aircraft.

❤❤❤ GORGEOUS AS MY FELICIA ❤❤❤

Such a gorgeous plane, as a kid to this day I've always thought it was the coolest looking machine.

Absolutely awesome!

best B1 take off video i have ever seen! and i see this stuff a lot. lol awesome video. those afterburners! omg

Whaooo impressive the afterburners and electric tailplane commands. It reminds me the Concorde take offs at heathrow. Unforgettable

Absolutely beautiful!

Beautiful!

Remember being stationed in RAF Fairford from May 2007 to May 2009. We saw B-1s visit alongside the U-2 Dragonladys. It was one of my best assignments. The good thing about Fairford in the old days, the place was silent as no permament assigned aircraft but when a plane comes in you get everybody outside the wire in admiration that a plane is coming into the base. I miss it. Was part of the 420th LRS at the time. We did have the B-2s come but not very often you saw. During the International Air Tattoo it was a great time. The base and the region turn into a big city for a whole week. It was great meeting our allied partners as we greeted and respectively argue whose pilots and planes are better to include the Royal Air Force hosts as we was on their turf. Seen the Queen only once when she made her appearance for the 90th anniversary of the RAF but it was always rainy and some days the weather was great. Miss it a lot

❤❤❤ HANDS DOWN. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AIRCRAFT IN THE SKY. I HAVE A VERY LIMITED AIRBRUSH PAINTING OF A B1-B

Thank you for capturing this beautiful bird taking off 🫡

my dad had a love for this aircraft. I see why. such an elegant plane and despite being quite large can still go faster than the speed of sound. a marvel of engineering.

Such a beast of an aircraft. Love it.

I would probably cry just hearing one of those up close... It sounds insane!

Freaking awesome video. Thanks for posting!

This is amazing! The B-1 is one of my favorites.

Stunning footage. Reminds me of Concorde taking off

What a beautiful beast. I’ve always loved that plane. This never gets old - Thank you so much for posting. 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸

What an absolute beast, great footage!

I worked for a B1 sub. Beautiful and nice to know I was a very small part of it.

Captivating beauty combined with tremendous power make a this aircraft one of my favorites. I am former Navy and served onboard the USS Midway. We had the F-4 Phantoms. It was a beautiful aircraft as well. God has surely blessed the engineers and designers of our military.

What a beautiful sight and sounds.

Love the B1 Lancer! What an amazing Plane.... the B2 Spirit Bomber as well. But the Speed of the Lancer is such a critical role to have... What an Awesome plane. I watched one fly around an Air show like a fighter jet doing Maneuvers... Pretty amazing to see the Lancer fly like I have never seen on any video. I thought it was an F-14 at 1st, but it was too large for an F-14. and watching it as I was driving down the Interstate, and realizing it was a Lancer instead of an F-14.. I was pretty amazed with the Lancer... I Have all Trust in Our USA Military and all our US Aircrafts... As well as our Ammunitions and such

That was just pure showing off. Loved it.

Insane. Fantastic vid. Sounded like an orbital launch towards the end.

Yes please! And Thank You!🎉

This was making a U turn during the 2001 airshow here in Melbourne Australia. We saw the jet whilst we were making our way to the front yard. It was like the sound of two maybe three 747 400's passing by...enormous power...the wings were folding as well.

Absolutely brilliant!

Amazing aircraft and you captured it pretty nice!👍👍

Thats a beautiful sight and sound. Great video BL.

The Ga ANG used to fly out Robins with those bad boys...I worked probably a 1/2 mile from the runway when they took off, I always got to see them in full afterburner on the climb! And they seemed to take off 3 at a time! Touch and go's all day!! Hated when they left Robins!! Great bird!!

Glorious beauty
