    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.

    Thank you so much for sharing this. The Bone is my favorite USAF aircraft of all time!
    I had the honor and privilege deploying to an undisclosed location during OIF where the Bones were located and will never forget the opening of the war with the Bones launching late at night. They were fully loaded and I lost count of how many took off.
    The sound and feelings were unforgettable and it was so surreal listening to and watching each one launch as it was like watching fireflies during the summer as their engines were burning so bright in the distance after they departed.
    It was the most amazing, awe inspiring, and terrifying thing as we all knew how much they were carrying and the destructive power they were bringing to bear.
    Thank you for sharing this once again.

    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.

I was the lone (and first) -135 pilot... who somehow got accepted to the program... to this day it is still my very greatest accomplishment. What an amazing aircraft to fly.

      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      Maybe we'll give you a handful of outdated F-16's and a few battle tanks to combat Russia's 35,000 tanks!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. 💯.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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...
