I’m a 24yr USAF Veteran. While stationed in Texas for 11yrs I had the privilege to maintain and test B-1Bs. It was awesome!!!
At 24... lol
@@SCUUZEM3 No, 24 years in the USAF.
@@andyfletcher3561 ohh my bad slow moment lol! Thank you for your service
Dyess? #7thBW
Did you ever see an SR-71?
Great video! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
No stupid robot voices.
Zero dialogue.
Silence is golden.
Funny, The F101-GE102 engines sung a melodious symphony and narrated the story very well. Hats off to the creator of this video for sure!
Those four glowing afterburners against a Vegas dusk lighting - priceless !
flaps up and down talking about the pliot
Yeh

Oh, yeah! Go, USA!
Shame it didn’t accidentally drop one on on Vegas though!
Without a doubt one of the most beautiful and awesome planes ever! I saw one do a fly by at an airshow in Oshkosh WI. Flying over runway at about 500 ft, it suddenly went almost straight up until it disappeared from sight! That is incredible for a fighter plane, but a bomber doing it was nearly beyond belief!! Makes you proud to be an American.
*So you have never seen The British Avro Vulcan (Star Wars) now 63 Years old ?*
*_Get real and have a look at this :_*

My feelings exactly Robert.
🇺🇲
My God this aircraft is underrated in the looks department... stunning
It's gorgeous!
And it’s over 50 years old think of that
It's so sleek and it almost looks like a Falcon. It's a beautiful aircraft with deadly capabilities it defines the American spirit
It's badass
Russians copied the design and made a similar looking bomber the TU- 160 Blackjack
I was traveling in west Texas in the middle of nowhere when a B-1 flew in front of me really low and wings back. Years later still get a thrill remembering that!
My father was one of the designers of this plane with Rockwell out of Pico Rivera. Rather than stealth, it was designed to hug the contours of the earth at supersonic speeds. The new B-21 bomber is taking some lessons from this.
Quite literally nobody gave a shit about your comment. For all we know your dad ua just a high school janitor.
@@dingdong475 Why is it so hard to believe. My father was a project engineer for Rockwell in Palmdale. Before that he worked on the F5/T38 for Northrop. You see one of those flying and there's a high probability he put the ass end on it. He was a manager on the L1011 for Lockheed and as a teen I got to participate in an FAA certification for carrying more passengers. For Boeing he was a tooling engineer and designed a clip to hold the ceiling panels in on the early 747s. I worked the better part of 17 years on USAF Plant 42 and watched at least 50 B1Bs take their maiden flight. You sound like a jealous bitch.
Small supersonic.
The very best is Concorde and F15
@@dingdong475 wtf is wrong with being a high school janitor?
Such a beUtiful aircraft. It's hard to believe that the B-1B lancer is a 40 years old bomber.
The shell of the jet are 40 years old but it been refurbished fixes and re coating with titanium polymer fabric paints every 10 years.The aviation jet engines and the electronics changes every 5 years.
Megusta el video
What'is Air Base ?
@@ran6009 The pilot and missile battery commander later became good friends.
That’s a good name
I approve
I'AM GLAD REAGAN PUT THIS BOMBER BACK INTO FULL PRODUCTION AND WE NOW HAVE A FLEET OF THEM.BEAUTIFUL DESIGNED AIRCRAFT
Lived across the street from Nellis. Engine tests at 3 am were brutal...
I call it freedom at 3am
I use to live near a regional airport with a jet center. They would sometimes test run jet engines at 3am. I loved it!
I've had the pleasure of getting up close and personal with a bunch of these working air shows for fun around the country the last 3 years and when I tell you if they do a full afterburner takeoff you feel the ground shake a mile away and hear car alarms going off
It's true. I grew up right outside Dyess AFB.
LANCER------the most beautiful, graceful, agile bomber ever made....................
Next to the SR-71 Blackbird, this the most beautiful jet powered aircraft ever.
I would place the F-104, and the F-14 right up there. But beauty is subjective.
Yeah for sure I like the F-16, F-15 ect. But the A-10 has the best sound!
Don't forget the Vulcan bomber too!!!!
@@wakers243 Oh yeah definitely!
Probably one of the most beautifully designed aircraft ever built.
Vieux Bal totally agree , it is a work of art
My self I still like the buff the sound of 8 engines the heart stopping of it going over head on take off or running down the runway Kadena ab.Okinawa
@@inhonorofmygradmotherjessi1287 8 engines? you must be talking about the B-52 and not the B-1.
I disagree ever saw a Tu 160?
After Tupolev-160.
Everything about this bird says, "Please don't make me angry...You won't like me when I'm angry!"
It’s not alive bro ... it can’t think
Still one of the most gorgeous and majestic flying machines ever built.💖
Oh! It's absolutely beautiful!
Next to the B 52
Deadly things are usually attractive.
@Hammerschlägen M as real as it gets son
@Hammerschlägen M they all majestic ti me all aircraft's are i have family that served in the military opinions very
I was at nellis 4 years...when a B1 bomber took off, you knew it!....nothing like the sound of them taking off...loved it...and miss it...
forget it capabilities ,its the most beautiful looking aircraft ever designed
*Thank you for acknowledging that. It also looks like it was made by Mattel.*
Welshbrickie The B-2 and SR-71 Blackbird, and the Concorde, the best looking jet planes ever.
not just best looking, best sounding
If sex had wings......
747?
Never ceases to amaze me. The more potent the instrument of death; the more beautiful it is. The Katana being a case in point.
I agree. To me the Winchester lever action rifle seen in so many Westerns is just a beautiful rifle.
Almost like art. (and very deadly)
Cringe.
ICBMs are ugly as hell though.
Love those planes. Fighter jet on steroids. Beautiful design.
The sunset takeoff w/ Vegas in the background is a WINNER!!
Stunning indeed!
It retracts its landing gear like a gentleman.
B-1B is the most beautiful aircraft ever built, i believe.
That Vegas departure at twilight : Eyegasm !
Maybe the best looking plane ever created.
The type of design you get when politics fail and engineering wins!
what did you say The may seffect
And Accountants. Just look at the SpaceX Capsule vs Boeings flying pizza box
The took out the calculator and stripped all the stuff out that made it capable. Now it's just a slow bomber.
Have seen this bird do a low flyby with full afterburners on, as ascending. Most memorable event of any airshow I have been to.
What a beautiful bird that B-1 is, just a sleek, incredible flying machine!! As a long-time GA pilot, sometimes I look back and think, if I had it all to do over again, I would have joined the military so I could fly some of those magnificent birds! The young, with their fast reactions and physically able bodies are a natural pick for those aircraft that fly high and nearly 1,000 mph and the missions they are made for, all I can do now is watch them, marvel at them, and thank all who have a part in keeping them in the air, for their service in protecting and defending our Country! I've loved the swept-wing design since I admired, fell in love, and flew in the Concorde in about 1984 or so. The "Bone" as they lovingly call the Lancer, is about as sexy as a bomber can be! Happy Landings!
Gracious Lord! That staggeringly beautiful art work just started up and flew away!
The evening shot with Seattle in the background is just pure artistry.
that's las vegas
Holy smokes, the plane doesn't look very big until you see the man next to the wheels. LOL
I love it when they get the authorization to put the wings back. My favorite bird of prey.
Why would they need "authourizaton" to put their wings back they are computer controlled.
@@jeffspicolli593 that is what. Pilot told my dad who was a final inspector with Northrop. Maybe I misunderstood 🤷♀️
Never thought anything could look as good and be as bad ass as the F-14.
Live outside Dyess AFB Home of the B-1B This is one badass bird makes me proud to be an American
Not that aesthetics are important for military aircraft, but IMO this was the last large US military plane that looks truly beautiful and graceful from almost any angle.
Worked on this bad boy from 06 to 2010. Heap of junk on the ground but once it gets airborne no better feeling than hearing those engines roar. FREEDOM.
Has to be one of the coolest bombers ever.
You weren't lying, that's some spectacular footage you got there.
Most beautiful bomber we ever built. Never gets old watching it,
I grew up on China Lake, Nellis and Edwards AFB and have been able to see everything from Stealth Fighters, Stealth Bombers, F-22s and drones to other weird stuff in which we were sure aliens were going to invade us. But nothing is more beautiful than the B-1 Bomber in person or in the air. Our Stealth Bombers would be number two on my list. They are just on another level of majestic.
I watched them do some incredible flying at Edwards with F15's and 16's. Intentional flat spins, attack angle so steep it stalled the engines and they recovered. Got to watch a Saturn5 booster test at China Lake. Jeez we drove a long way to work on that project. It's a big base.
Supersonic, variable sweep wings, long range, heavy strategic bomber
For me personally the most beautiul and inspiring airplane. I would love to fly it one day.
I think North American started developing this when their futuristic B-70 got cancelled. Both are fantastic supersonic mega-bombers
I know it had/has it's issues - but you have to admit - probably one of the most beautiful aircraft built.....
I agree with you 500%
@@vieuxbal1253 а вы что нашего Б белого лебедя не видели
@@user-pc5dl7yd3i ????
@MRRoger DUHHHH where else are they going to get their ideas from????
@MRRoger LoL. When I first moved to Palmdale in 1971, they use to close the roads around Plant 42 every time the SR71 flew. By the early 80's all of our enemies were sitting across the roadway(Sierra Highway) at the end of the roadway with their telephoto lenses so big they were on 12 foot tall tripods.
Wonderful shape, such a great looking bomber. The image of it taking off at sunset or sunrise is absolutely fantastic! great job!
So elegant and so deadly! Wonderful plane.
My dad was a navigator in this beautiful plane😁
She's one elegant bird
I heard and saw a flyover in McGuire AFB in NJ years ago.. good lord that thing is loud.. and beautiful!
When I go with throttle up it can be. Thanks for watching captain and shift commander LABonte air mobility command patriot wing commander usaforce is with you
I saw a B1 in person and they are HUGE
B1B is an absolutely beautiful aircraft! I lived in Dayton Ohio in the mid 80's and being an 8 year old boy right outside Wright Patterson AFB we got to see this beautiful airplane all the time.
They need to make the B-1R missile truck with the F-22's PW F119 engines and keep the B-1Bs in service for as long as it can. She's a beautiful and just damn sexy of a plane.
It still manages to surprise me how big these things are, when you get a guy beside it and he's less than half the height of the landing gear, damn.
Beautiful aircraft. Looks like a really pissed off Albatross..Amazing footage by the way
Those engines are the same the F-16 has, it has 4 F-16s strapped under its wings!
Love how they made the plane look like a Super Wings character :)
Man I loved the night time shots of takeoff with those engines flaming like that. All in all you have some great footage and good camera work. Job well done my friend.
I live by Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, and we have a lot of these stationed here, sadly I don't see them flying that often but when I do it's always an event that I watch for as long as the plane is visible. I'm more of a fighter person, but this beauty is always one that I never tire of seeing. Thanks for this video!
Soon you will be able to watch this one really close; ua-cam.com/video/IcQeZ_w8ro0/v-deo.html
The B-1s down at Tinker are most likely there for depot maintenance. If one happens to fly around Tinker, they're most likely from Dyess AFB
I'm in Oklahoma now, and have worked on several construction projects on Tinker, and also the Quad Graphics complex. I spent a good portion of my working life at USAF Plant 42 in Palmdale California where they did final assembly on the B1. I watched ship 95 do 2 barrel rolls at around 500 feet above the deck between two of the buildings. Pops was a project manager for Rockwell for much of the B1 production. Had several of the mucky mucks as well as those from Northrop and Lockheed over to the house many times. The test pilots loved it, said it flies like a fighter. I've watched it fly so much I find it a bit boring really. I was also privileged to watch the SR71 fly more than I think any man has a right to. I was never bored watching it LoL.
That's not an aircraft - that's a work of art.
You never appreciate just how large some aircraft is until a dude is pulling out the wheel chocks
"I'm blinded by the beauty of our weapons ... " sang poet Leonard Cohen
4:44 its beautiful to see her come home ...
Man that brings back memory’s of 6 years on the line as a crew chief at Dyess AFB Texas. I was there from 2002-2007. My girl was 5089 POW/MIA the last patrol. After working on them for 6 years they will forever be dear to me. Awesome bird you definitely don’t wanna be on the receiving end of one!😎
So fine to actually see one taking off, in flight and landing. It never gets old the love of graceful planes and crews!💖💖
Amazing footage, I really like the vortices at the wing tips.
The only non living thing that I would ever regard as “SEXY “.
True. And I've heard a few regard this jet as such.
But, generally, moral of B1 crews were low compared to those of other jets like the A10.
The B1 was like a high maintenance woman you'd escort to an event.
The A10 was like the crazy girl that'd keep you out all night, then take you home and grind you to dust.
The elegant fighter that had too much of a growth spurt and joined the bomber corps instead.
That’s me @0:35. Look mom, I’m famous!
0:03 -- Now there's a plane that knows it's SEXY!! 😂😂
You mean when it's shaking its tail feathers? 0:10
Trains
@EFFram YOUng dying 🤣
By God that's a beautiful airplane. We should have built a lot more of them with F-119 or F-135 engines to restore its Mach-2 cruising capability in order to get munitions on sight twice as fast.
Only 1/2 we're made.
Tu-160 and B1 the most beautiful aircraft in the world!
To think something that powerful and deadly can look beautiful as well.
At 4:27 upon landing, you can see the way the hot desert air moves off of the wing tips and along the underside of the wings. Pretty cool stuff that most of us don't get to witness too often.
Wake turbulence. 👍
The "BONE" is second only to the SR 71 in ELEGANCE in an airplane!!
This is the most beautiful aircraft to date. It looks almost like an Afghan hound.
Yes. I think so too re Afghan.
This is one beautiful fling machine B-1.
The sights and Sounds of Freedom ! 2019
Stunningly beautiful video. Great work!
One of the slickest planes we have
2 of these planes regularly fly over my house along with F-16’s and f-22 raptors. Living in North Las Vegas is like going to an US air show everyday.
I’ve also seen b-2 spirits multiple times and one time I got lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a sr-71.
Thanks for sharing the footage of this beautiful bird. I was fortune enough to live down the street from one of Boeings facilities and the beauty came in often for upgrades. I always had my smile plastered from ear to ear when she was there espically when leaving. Boy what lines on this aircraft.
Never tire to watch it.
Proud to live at the home of the B1B bomber. Dyess AFB Abilene Texas. We love our military..
I always get goosebumps when I see this amazing aircraft 😊😊😊😊
Handsome and sinister looking beast!
I don't care their purpose. They are just beautiful flying machines. And the videos are awsome.
Beautiful And Much Needed Space Machines!!!
2 of these beasts were orbiting my house last Summer. Talk about intimidating and LOUD even just cruising Glad it was airshow day up here in London, Canada. Thanks USA!
An aeronautical work of art.
Yep, just like your video title says "B-1 Bomber In Action- STUNNING AND BEAUTIFUL. Such an amazing aircraft with incredible ground shaking power. Well done. Thank you for sharing it.
Nice shot at 3:10 totally awesome view
I think the B1 is probably the best looking military aircraft ever. Its too bad they are so much more expensive to operate vs the B52. An air force general told me that from a combat capability standpoint, the B1 offers the same bomb payload as the B52, it just burns way more fuel
Idk if its just me but i just feel like when the bombs drop its just so satisfying
Camera person must have had an awesome time.
This plane is like a bird during take-off and landing.
Oh yeah, it reminds me of the 'The mysterious cities of gold' the solar powered golden condor :)
Especially how the landing gear tuck themselves up and in. Beautiful plane.
To take pictures like that, you've
Gotta have permission from the
Base commander. And he probably kicked it up the chain.
Ahhhhhh ahhh ah ah searching for the citieees of gold
if one of these and an sr-71 mated the off-spring would be god like
Check out the sr-72
Actually they are both "She's" so it would never happen. But an A-1111 Aardvark snuck onto their flightline one dark night and their love child was a B2 spirit which about tore the lancer apart because those babies always come out breached.
Daniel Kays did you just assume xirs gender?
Was Eastbound on I-10 just into Florida, driving semi, Saw one of these land at Pensacola. It was pointed south 10 miles away and even from that distance, it was wider than an 8 lane highway and median. These puppies are Monsters. Glad it's ours.
What a beauty she is! So slim and sleek but very, very powerful! That evening clip when she took off was amazing!!
by far, one of the best vids of the B1 on here, thanks for posting
Beautiful pictures of roaring angels.Awesome, like works of art..
Totally incredible
It is a beauty... inspired by Concord look .. like Concord B1 still the most impressive looking plane
3:10, that's the money shot
Oh, I agree! Gorgeous, with the sun setting, the control tower and the afterburners aglow! Incredibly beautiful (some good shooting from someone who obviously knew what they were doing!)
3:16
Mitch Id have to say you are right on with your money shot. Out of Vegas and such a beautiful view
M.J. Leger
That’s the Stratosphere in Las Vegas in the background, not the control tower. It’s cool - legitimate mistake. It’s still a beautiful setting for an amazing aircraft.
