    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 .

      With all due respect, I have to disagree a bit. If it would have reached serial production, the title of the coolest plane should go to the XB-70 Valkyrie. But it was obsolete by the introduction of ICBMs, and I can understand why it was cancelled.

    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.

    • @p51abc

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 lived in Vegas for several years, right across the street from Nellis Airforce base. The B1 would take off and come straight over our house and would set off the car alarms up and down the street, it was awesome to watch at night with the flames with rings around them shooting out the exhaust. Beautiful site.

      Finland, Sweden, etc. All joining NATO, uh, I mean N.A.O., at the last minute!?
      Are you going to catch up on payments? Turkey is insisting on it! God bless Turkey!
      Otherwise, you're all a bunch of cowards!
      Maybe we'll give you a handful of outdated F-16's and a few battle tanks to combat Russia's 35,000 tanks! 😲.
      Finland, Norway, Sweden, etc, has frozen solid, Naval ports, every winter!
      Russia, now, has access to the warm water ports, of the Black Sea.
      If Putin wants your asses, nothing is standing in his way!!!
      Lucky you! Putin has NO purpose for your wretched countries. 💯.

    In the late 1990s I lived close an airport and got to watch a twilight afterburner take off. This beautiful bird stood on it's tail and blasted into the evening sky with 4 strong bright blazing pillars of fire.

    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!

    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

    There is something truly epic about watching these gorgeous beasts taking off just as there is enough light to see the planes, and low enough light to see the shock diamonds in the afterburners. And I swear, I think that experience all those years ago will be the closest thing to rocket launches I will ever get. Just the sound and feeling alone was glorious. I miss living on or near active military bases.

    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...
