@@davidstrother8726 Perhaps you are missing the joke?
My granddad was one of the engineers that designed the b-1 so I got a huge kick out of that
@@corbinweibley3316 thats amazing man
I took a special needs friend to the midland, TX airshow, back in 03-04.. B-1 flew in from the rear of the crowd, hit afterburner and climbed scarring the shit outta everyone.. but Jason who was very hearing impaired , felt the massive rumble; and got SO damn happy. Instantly falling in love with the aircraft. He never forgot that plane.
He used Lancer for his spartan name in Halo 2 and I Was aircorba lol
He’s passed in 2011 and I will always get fond memories our families at airshows together over this plane.
Miss ya lancer, fly high bud
just choppin onions as i read this
I saw them myself a few years ago in Midland. Great story. Thank you.
He’s flying high now, and he’ll never crash.
Great story cool comments..Much Respect from Your Canadian friend.....
ditto from another Canadian, another friend, you good soul
I was at an air show about three years ago. The B-52 and the B-1 were parked about 30 yds. from each other. It is amazing doing the walk throughs in each one of them how massive the B-1 is compared to the B-52. Took pictures w/my wife and nephew having lunch under the wing of the B-52.
Oh wow…really!?

What a colossal waste of money.

You may say that about it but when your little PR island is attacked by an enemy, rest assured you will regret what you said MR. Coqui!
@@danieliglesias1669 your stupidity is colossal too😂
I worked on these. Awesome aircraft. Watching one in full afterburn takeoff is a sight to behold. Rumbles your chest.
This is an American plane. It is not measured in meters it is measured in bald eagles and freedoms per mile .
Measured in infants vaporized.
Dr. Westside all high tech is metric, unfortunately you guys decided in 1977 not to adapt to the new norm. Eventually you will.🇨🇦
Not the russian version. The blackjack. Thats measured in bears and cicles. Im sure trump has delived blueprints of all our new stuff.
@@Rockandrollrusty America uses metric for different industries just not as a whole
I'm showing your comment to my brother... he has been working maintenance on the B1 B for 20 or more years... he has excellent storys to tell about how exactly BAD ASS THE BONE IS. Thumbs up stay awesome and have a great day.
One night in Iraq (sometime in '07), the infantry apparently kicked up a hornet's nest, lots of explosions pretty close to the base, patients of all kinds flooding the ER. I saw either an F-15 or F-18, seems he got lit up by something and sped out of the area popping off flares, then one of these bad boys buzzed us SUPER low.....OMG. Almost shat myself cause I didn't know it was coming either. VERY soon after, the bad guys decided to go home. Lol
Oh wow….that’s really “lol” worthy. What a colossal waste of money this thing is.
🤔🇨🇺🇺🇸
4:42 No clue what those signs mean but he’s having the time of his life. Even hit a grand slam 😂
I'm saying that he swung big but it was a high chopper to short that he legged out for an infield single
..
When you see that stuff you realize military service is really just boys with big and very deadly toys.
You need a fun guy like that.
This is one of the most beautiful airplanes ever built. Very excellent lines. Very esthetic.
I totally agree
Wait...WE have mobile strategic nuclear missile launchers?! If that's true...well, I'm checking e-bay a lot more now, lol.
Agreed
Nothing compares to the Bone !!!.
i saw one land parallel to my car while I was driving...about 50 meters to my left. Thought it was a god damn alien
No kidding? I bet that was amazing! Everybody else see's cool stuff. I always miss things like that by a minute. I show up one minute late for every unique moment.....been like that since 1965 when I was born. The amount of times I have heard "You should have seen what just happened!!" is etched in my mind.

The True Reason Why America's Enemies Still Fear the B-1 BOMBER
1- It literally is a bomb carrier
Well I hope so being a bomber and that is its sole purpose .
A stealth bomber
Even with the awe inspiring B-2, the B-1 is still my favorite bomber
@graciemurphy1 : GDMN MFING Right On, Brother 🤘😉🤘‼️
I was an intern with Rockwell in the logistics group for the B1-B for 3 summers. Logistics was a bit of a mess, but me and my fellow interns worked over several weekends with a General, and a few Corporals to scrub the data. We had the opportunity to visit Edwards AFB where we got a walk trough of a striped B1-B. These were the four prototypes that were referred to in the video. Two were active, and two were cannibals. The active planes were cordoned off with armed guards surrounding them. It was pretty cool.
The entire program was a mess and with an average operational availability of 15 or so aircraft, in some respects it still is.

I had one of these fly over my head as I rode into Box Elder South Dakota last summer. It encouraged me to stop at the Air Force Museum there. I highly recommend it if you're in the area.
Early 2000's
I will never forget the BIB flying out of McConnell AFB. I was in the Commissary parking lot and heard an eerie ominous sound as a plane taxied to the end of the runway. When the unmarked B1B took off people were stopping in the streets and running out of the buildings everywhere. This was at the time a Bone base. The force and loudness was something that caught everyone's attention and made them wonder what it was. Bones have a common "set off the car alarm", Rock The Planet" kind of take off. You get use to it. The force behind this plane even, on the taxi was something no one ever experienced. It was absolutely awesome. This would have been around 1995. The entire short track it took back around was a sound I wont forget. To put it in context. When the Concord Landed taxied and took of from Wichita years later it was somewhat quieter and much more refined than this plane. When the Bone landed that day it went straight back to the Boeing hangers. I will assume the Bone has been tested beyond the limits of the structural limits at speed. I only believe this because of the sound of the engines and the speed and force of the take off of this one experience. I will assume Mach 3 plus has been achieved but modifying the air frame to sustain these speed was cost prohibitive.
Because unlike the B-52, the B-1 Lancer is a high speed bomber, capable of flying at low altitudes and still deliver substantial payloads on the enemies. The only weakness is it is not a stealth bomber like the B-2 Spirit and the future B-21 Raider.
It doesn't have to be stealthy. Speed is better than stealth in my opinion
@@seminnesotatrainsairplanes839
It wasn’t the case before, because both super power nations were stuck solving hypersonic problems. Planes & Missiles couldn’t reach HyperSonic speed well, its only recent that these are possible & with stronger detection networks, speed overcomes stealth in some matters now.

So at one point the B1 was this super secret item- before its present iteration. Then peeps decided it was costing too much and the project was shelved. My buddy in the UK was a super airplane nerd and, with a friend embarked on a tour of the US to find as many wrecks etc abandoned in back yards, woods, and deserts. One day they were on a backroad somewhere and he spots something big painted zinc chromate in a hanger in the near distance. He cons his way onto a poorly guarded airfield and persuades guards to allow him to look in the hanger. I remember unkempt grass in front of the hanger and woodland behind it- the back of nowhere. Crammed in the hanger, 2 fully assembled and abandoned B1s or whatever they were originally called, covered in dust and bird poop. He took pictures of the planes, snuck in and took pictures inside of them, left, went back to the UK, forgot about them. He tells the tale and shows me the pictures many years later, neither of us knowing B1s had become a thing again. The B1 pictures weren’t even the first ones he showed me because he had forgotten about them. He had no idea he had pictures of an airplane that had become top secret again. He’s dead now, 1990s, I have no idea where his piccies could be or if they still exist along with the thousands of other photos he took of other planes. I heard the family got rid of everything he had. The pictures where good for the camera tech at that time given an unlit hanger (except for a permanently open door) and unlit plane interior. We looked at the pictures one day when I went and got him because a pair of B52s had landed at the nearby aerodrome in one of the thickest fogs I had ever seen. They also snuck out again before the fog dispersed and we missed them.
Passing by Dyess outside of Abilene, I've seen B-1s taking off and landing several times. It's a pretty awesome acft!

We passed an AFB in So Dakota in late 90s and saw these beautiful planes.
packingten i was stationed there. Ellsworth AFB. I was a crew chief on these back in the day
These planes are so loud it’s insane. Listening to them take off is a crazy experience
feeling it rumble through your body too..
Lmao I loved this plane. They used to be here before they were moved to Texas. You could hear one for about 5 minutes and never knew where it was lmao.
They’re here with me now in Texas haha
Zack Woods where are they In Texas?
Ever stand within 100 feet of a Harrier doing a vertical off?? THAT is deafening.
I was fortunate to have a career in aircraft (B-1 104 total) development , flight test, manufacturing , record setting runs, upgrade to conventional configuration. The complexity of integration , test and delivery was due to development of an aircraft designed in the period of time represented by 100 % fly-by wire (digital domain) of the f-16 and the mechanical / analog of the F-15. Time marches on and there are upgrades that in the cockpit along with the integration of new sensors . To stand next to it during engine run-ups and full blow test and feel the organs in your chest vibrate is an amazing experience -to see and hear it break the speed of sound 200 meters of the deck... -
My grandfather helped build this plane.
I saw a B1 doing acrobatics at Dobbins AFB from a distance back in the mid 1990s. It was doing somersaults end-over-end and sideways, about 50 yards above the ground, without leaving its position. It was so incredible that I thought it was a giant balloon shaped like the B1.
Somersaults??really?
@@kevinoshea9125 For years I wondered about it, and perhaps it might have a been a balloon of the size and shape of a B1 that the Air Force was using to refine the aerodynamics of the air frame
A number of years ago I was in my backyard and heard a loud noise, I looked up and there was a B-1 passing overhead at a LOW altitude, kinda took me aback till I realized it's path would take it over our local military school. The military has sent helicopters to the school, landing on the football field for their inspection. It was damn impressive, I'd hate to be under it when it was on a kick-ass mission!
I've seen these planes overhead many times here in the US (I live near an air base). I can't fathom processing that in another country. I'd just say, stay calm, we have your back.Thoughts anyone?
As long as there is no oil found in my country we don't have to worry about you guys bringing "freedom" and sending the b1b to fly over us.
I was a weapons systems specialist on the F-111F and D models. I consider the Bone to be the 2nd sexiest aircraft, ever! It's the Aardvark's bigger brother.
I miss this in sound so much. Lived next to McConnell when they held the B1's for many years. Always loved watching them fly around.
B-1 is the most beautiful bomber ever built. Either in white or "Darth Vader" gray. It's just gorgeous.
I was stationed in South Dakota. Watching this plane land and take off was awesome, made me feel good they were on my side. And the real reason our enemies should fear this plane is because it's piloted by the best pilots in the world.
Me too buddy. I worked in the weapons backshop. Thanks for serving.
I live in north central Nebraska, and when I lived out in the Sandhills, we used to see them fly over and circle high in the sky, usually in pairs with one following some distance behind the other. There is no mistaking the sound of that thunder that fills sky and earth!
I’ve seen the only 2 remaining B-1A’s in Lincoln, NE, at SAC and in Dayton, OH, at the NAFM
I seen B1 fly like a fighter jet in Lincoln when Kay Orr was gov. and she was on that plane. Very cool plane.
I've seen one, near the Air Force Base here in Fort Worth, TX., Loudest thing I ever heard, ran outside, looked up and said damn! That's a B1! Didn't know there were only 2! Unique experience!🇺🇸🇺🇸
When was that? I’m not doubting you but I was stationed at Offutt, NE for 10 years-2001-2011-and never saw or knew of a B-1A on the base.
Also Strategic Air Command was in Omaha, not Lincoln
@@alexblaze8878 I was thinking back as this was in the 90s and yea it was Offutt air power show thats when Orr was gov. Hell i probably still have the show magazine they handed out in some box stored away. Also they had harrier jet , that thing was so loud but very cool. I dont remember what year on the harrier jet but never forgot that loud thing.
Actually they are popularly known as the "Hangar Queen" because of the time they spend non-available for missions.
Yeah, and we are properly known as U.S. Army Aviation. ???
Available enough to present an unrivaled and constant threat.
So there's that.
I saw two up close at the Oshkosh air show in Michigan in 1987 when I was 16. Boy I have never forgotten that day and have been in love with this aircraft ever since. It is awesome, beautiful and destructive. Nothing more needs to be said
The Oshkosh Air Show is in WISCONSIN, not Michigan.
This is an egregious error.
Dear Santa, I would park this in my front yard if you granted me this one wish
Wow! what an absolutely stunning plane, very nice lines, it looks like speed, or a sky spirit, the shape of a fine woman!!!
I was inside the cockpit of one. We wasnt allowed to take pictures but you have to climb a huge ladder to get inside the plane. Its just a crazy plane
Love your content dude! Keep up the amazing work!
In my opinion this is the sexiest plane, I love the lines and will never forget my first view of it at an air show in Ottawa
Roger Varey - I agree. But the F-14 Tomcat is still one of favorites as well.....and the Spitfire.
The blackbirds my favorite
Let’s not forget the f-22 and f-15 gentleman
As a Crew Chief I fear the B-1’s abilities...to break every 30min lol
Not poor maintenance from these professional crews as people who make negative statements have never worked on sophisticated high performance jets that can make high stress maneuvers at high speeds. And even when it isn't broken there are maintenance procedures set at specific hours.
@Lava LifeGuard Spoken like someone who doesn't understand the issues of maintaining a high performance jet. Here's a clue. The more moving parts something has, the more maintenance it needs. The higher the precision required out of something, the more maintenance it needs. The more unusual or extreme the end user's needs, the more maintenance is needed.
Here's a TLDR; The more capable something is, the more maintenance it needs.
I remember typical sorties to Diego Garcia was to send 3 B-1s, 2 for missions and 1 for spare parts.
Lmao so true. If the engine wasn't comp stalling, electrical issues, it was a comm issue or hydro leak. Wait. If it didn't leak there was no fluids left lol. Leaks were a good thing.
@Lava LifeGuard top fuel drag cars get a full engine rebuild after every race
Love the MK 60 series quickstrike mines (inert of course for training) shown at 5:42, they even say property of the US Navy and who to contact if you find one of them.
One of these took off from Long Beach Airport. I was across the freeway. I heard it before I saw it and when I finally saw it taking off, the hair on my arms stood up. It was an awesome sight. Some random guy was standing by me watching it too, and I told him I'm glad it's ours.
I know from speaking with the maintainers of the B1, they sure fear it. It has some issues with reliability.
But it worked so well in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon! lol.

Worked with these in the middle east, absolutely massive aircraft
Albert Einstein said, "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." This shows that he believed that civilization as we know it would be gone.
Totally forgot to mention the B-58 Hustler which could possibly outfly the B1
I went to college in Abilene, TX. Those things rattled our windows miles away from Dyess. One incredible aircraft.
Man I loved that bomber!! Best 11 years of my career!!
And the Infantry loves you guys above. Salute and thank you is the understatement of the year.
I know one thing it is one beautiful looking plane. Also it’s sounds is amazing you can feel it in your chest.
One of my favorites to see at an air show. The sound is intense. You definitely feel the vibration rumbling through you.
I agree..was at an air show 5-6 years ago(thunder over Louisville)..well not a real air show..a B1b did a few fly overs and one could just imagine the terror that machine could deliver..such a sleek and beautiful aircraft ..incredible thruster sound too!

You ought to hang out at the E. end of Cheyenne Blvd in Las Vegas to catch a night launch of 3 or more of these babies departing RWY 03R at Nellis AFB at dusk. It's one of the most surreal & awesome experiences you can imagine; Soul shaking and mind-blowing. Kind of makes you feel as though you're standing at the end of a runway at "Area 51," watching some alien tech in action.
Have been to Vegas but I live in England so I have seen this at RAF Fairford. Was a US base for some time. B52’s took off from there during the golf war too.
My older brother who passed away last year was a Navigator on the B 52, and later the B 1. I wish we could of been closer!
great 10 min piece.. I especially loved the adds every 90 seconds
Had no idea the B1 could carry a greater payload than B52. I love this plane.
By a pretty crazy amount too. B-1b can carry about 5,000 lbs more munitions than b-52 (75,000 for the b-1b and 70,000 for the b-52), but the b-1b also has external hardpoints that bring the max payload it can carry up to 125,000 lbs
@@chrismarsden6633 what about the 'big belly' version of the b52?
@@slickchick5811 none of those are still in service do its not really relevant
It's amazing how well it has held up over time and was able to be upgraded as much as it has.
Had one of these fly over me in eastern Montana while antelope hunting. Felt like I could touch it, flying so low. Pretty wild experience
That dance the ground crew was doing at @4:40 was awesome.. I've seen similar moves on the Aircraft Carrier's.. is it something they're taught?

These are the loudest jet I have ever heard during take off. Living in Vegas you knew when a B1 ripped out of Nellis. Seeing one fly over my house at night with the after burners going was a sight for sure.
Thank you for the awesome coverage. My fascination for the B1was upheld by your video. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I've always wanted to be a pilot, and always fascinated with planes flying overhead near Eglin AFB, for 40 years. Sadly enough, 😢 I couldn't join you.
I visited South Dakota with my sister, and saw the B1's. I was in awe, and it made me feel alive. They are loud, and that's how i feel for the sound of freedom 🇺🇸. Thank you for your service!! 🇺🇸
still one of the meanest yet lean looking aircrafts out there.
K
Best looking plane ever IMO
I saw one of the three remaining B1As (Wright-Pat Museum) back in the 70's, which was parked outside in front of the museum in the process of being restored by volunteers. At the time, Carter had already "KILLED" the B1A program. For a former president who supposedly had a degree in nuclear engineering, I have always been disappointed in Jimmie Carter for cancelling the B1 program.
Ironically, the Russian TU-165 resembles a much larger "Lancer" with a big vertical stabilizer similar to earlier Russian MIG aircraft.
Absolutely beautiful. Ive always loved this plane. NO matter what comes out the Lancer and the Warthog still captivate me.
When the B One is finally retired, I WANT ONE !!!

Now I get why B-1s are called Bones! Always wondered about that
The same reason why people fear pigeons pooping on them.
Even at a quarter of a billion dollars a peace, the air force got a bargain with The B1B bomber. It is faster than they expected it to be. And carries more weight than they thought it could. It is also one sleek and beautiful jet. Especially with the wing swept back. In the 90s, I saw one fly over memorial drive, in Tulsa when it headed out to the National Guard and landed there. I will probably never forget that.
I am from JAMAICA but I love America 🇺🇸 🖐💯💯💯💯
Still the best plane I have ever seen flown. 9th bomber squadron from Dyes Airbase visited RAF Waddington circa 2000, and I got to meet some of the crew (still have an awesome t-shirt!) This plane is badass.
@chuck7476 well its a bomber, so would've been pretty fucking useless in that scenario.
These used to fly over our house when I was a kid, damn they were loud!! Bad ass sounding 😎
The engine pods on the B1A swung WITH the wings? But you even said they were in the wing root (therefore they didn't swing). The intake ramps were variable (as well as the exhaust nozzles) which is common almost necessary on supersonic jets. That doesn't mean the entire engine was mounted on the variable geometry wing

Why is the word "Should" missing from the title when it's in the opening dialog?
This plane is astonishingly big. I have been up close to 1 or 2 and they are just big.
That airplane is still a viable weapons system and can perform many tasks which the Air Force needs and should be kept in service as long as possible. It could be kept in service as the B-52H models are retired and used for the same missions if the engines could be replaced with newer ones which is more fuel efficient and upgraded weapons systems.
A stunning aircraft - both in specification and visual grace - commentary by Kermit?
LOL! Rude! 🤣
Lol Ray Romano also
Nice video thanks with clearly explaining nice page 👍
I was sitting in my pick-up at the Burger King at the south end of the runway at Love Field in Dallas when one of these took off after an airshow. The loudest sound I have ever heard by a significant margin. It was terrifying.
This bomber was dubbed the most expensively researched and designed ever and now I am told as soon as it entered service it is deemed obsolete. Now all adversaries are to fear this most obsolete aircraft. We must be doing greater than great !
weren't there 2 of these in the second transformers?
Bruce, I've always wondered what that word (obsolete) means. Obsolete to who? Maybe mainly to us but I'll bet that the Iranis or even the Russians would snap those B1s up in a Georgia heartbeat ... obsolete or not. It might not be up to speed with the B2 Spirit, but I believe it would perform at least as well as a B52 ... maybe. I sure don't know for certain but when comparing the B1 and the B52, the stats discussed in this documentary indicated that they were very similar, except for bomb load capacity. I just wonder if this "obsolete" talk is propaganda ... albeit negative in nature. Maybe. I surely don't know for a fact. Many of these so called "documentaries" are loaded down with BS.
@@dancolley4208 Obsolete means we are travelling by cars and not horse and buggy. As for all this military stuff, no matter what it is I'm just a baby in the woods ALWAYS !
@@bruces.parker1856 I think that is almost impossible to design and b UK ld an airplane these days that is not obsolete by the time it first flies. (with a few exceptions. ) Progress is so rapid that it's hard to keep up. Computer tech is a classic example.

Have any of you seen a B1 Fly in person absolutely astonishing power and performance. I've seen nothing that compares
Excellent descriptive and informative video..
after seeing what this beauty can do at an air show......i would be afraid too!!!
If the SR71 was still in service that would most likely number one most feared... but it's not, so...
That's ok; You can still fear it if you want. :-)
It was a reconnaissance plane, nothing to fear about it.
Actually it is the still not declassified programs that are most feared and rightly so.
The SR71 was the best. Still the fastest aircraft in the world on record
The SR 71 had been adopted to launch look down shoot down missiles as well. In fact Skunk Works had successfully shown the US government that they could shoot a missile down onto another plane from 80,000 feet before the B1 even launched, therefore rendering the B1 obsolete.
4:15 Were the engines really ever able to swing with the wings? I don't think so. The engines were mounted on the fixed inner wings on the A-model too so I don't see it ever having swing engines
@@GAVACHO5150 I believe he knows, I think he is pointing out a error in the clip, rather than asking a question. When the narrator said the engine's swept back with the wings.
Ok so I made I phone call what the narrator meant to say was the B1A had a variable air inlet and the B1B has a fixed air inlet. Excuse my previous comment but the air inlet is what changed not the engine mount or wing location.
Probably THE most beautiful plane ever built for the Air Force.
Right
The formidable bomber “then” at its beginning and “now” currently with some updates and modifications , that make the B-1 a fearsome monster of the sky.
My favorite of all times! ♥
The B-1 lancer is my favorite plane of all time
britshell - Definitely one of the best looking aircraft ever built. I still love the F-14 though. =)
A B-1B flew over at an Airshow over Lake Michigan in Milwaukee, WI it flew low and slow the sound was deafening the B-1B is still impressive to this day if I heard this aircraft coming I would quickly take cover because you know hell is coming.
For an in depth tour and overview of the B-1's capabilities watch the 1985 film Real Genius.
That's a beautiful aircraft
There might be somebody to taste the capabilities of US weapons soon.
Yep!

Adam O I don’t! I know we have the equipment and awesome soldiers but those fucker in Iran are messed up. They would do anything to kill us. Including losing a lot of them to get one of us. And they have money from oil. So they would be attacking us everywhere at every turn. If we do have to fight them we should just wipe the whole fucking country off the map.
Who's crying in Afghanistan
There should be a hard core air defence version of the B1. Equipped with really long range synthetic aperture radar, a bomb bay with dozens of very long range AAM and a boosted top speed so it can run away if threats get through this missile shield.
I found my step dads military paperwork...I remember he use to jump Everytime he heard a loud nosie ...he hated the 4th of July due to all the fireworks... After reading his military records I feel bad. We use to laugh at daddy when he would jump. His records state he was a POW and he was a hero helping other's escape during world war two. Also he was on a bomber that dropped the bomb on Japan. Man I was a bad kid ...he rasied 12 of us. He became my father at the age of 3. He drank a lot never talked about the war... He would wake up crying out a name Captain Anderson an lieutenant shalifoe
I got the rare treat so see one in the sky by the house. We see lots of refuelers and C-17 Globalmasters.

What a beautiful bomber. This has to be the (notionally) the evolution of the Flying Fortress.
Yea for the B1B, Thank you for your service, you guys are awesome.
The reason to fear it once air dominance is established the B1 can quickly be converted back to nuclear capability for strategic bombing eliminating population centers along with electronic counter measures not known to this channel.
