One thing they said , please dont touch the plaine because it is so static loaded that you would be killed. When they release the stacic load into the ground whit cables.the pilots came out. Verry nice guys who asked to us if whe would be the guards for the plaine. Do you want to go inside it they said? Our mouths fell open, and we had the chance to go inside. Believe it or not.

I was around them quite a bit back in the 90s, the swept/delta wing design always made them look like a giant Tornado when they passed overhead, really cool, but not as cool as the Vulcan.

Yes. I've been fortunate enough to have seen the B-1 and the B-2 in flight in my home state at least once each through the years. It was the same area each time, I-85 almost to South Carolina state line.
I was in the canyons of West Texas in middle of nowhere out by Pecos/FtStockton area many years ago working oilfields...one of these came sweeping down that canyon in full afterburner about 250 feet up...truck shook for 5 minutes while we laughed our asses off at one of the guys that pissed himself..scared him half to death.
Such an amazing video, the B-1 was one of the very first plastic models I ever built as a kid, it was about 18 inches from tip to tail. Even by today's standards, it still looks incredibly modern, and I love its Concorde like design, the adjustable wings, everything.
My buddy and I attended the air show in Oshkosh Wisconsin on a regular basis. This particular show featured the B-1 bomber which flew level about two hundred feet above the airfield. When it got to the end of the runway it made a sharp climbing right turn and hit the after burners which were aimed directly at the crowd. The massive thundering sound wave of those engines at full throttle and after burners felt like my body was in the ring with a Heavy weight champ. The words that comes to mind are pummeled and battered by oceans of air hitting me almost at the speed of sound. I turned to face away from the blast and it threw me to the ground. IMPRESSIVE.

Can you imagine retiring from the Air Force and having this on your resume when you apply for civilian commercial pilot's job - B1 Pilot ! ! ! Two words - enough said ! ! !
I was a mechanic on this jet for 6 years. It's a love/ hate relationship with mechanics and this jet. Standing next to it in full afterburner is a trip dood.
Same here. Was a crew chief on them up at Ellsworth. 2011-2017 Loved seeing the going up in the air. Hated them coming back down. As it was most likely code 2 or 3. Never code 1. Pain in the butt to work on. But so satisfying hearing her running.

@@АндрейЛ-м4ш Hold on there, Slavic brother! _Any_ aircraft is an ‘easy target’-except American stealth planes. Maybe Russia will have a production stealth aircraft soon. Be good, comrad. 💛
Back in 1998 as a Canadian Military Engineer I was deployed to the former Harmon AFB, an old SAC airbase in Stephenville NFLD, Canada to be OPFOR for OP MARCOT, a large NATO amphibious exercise. Our mission was to defend the airbase and for air defense we deployed the Oerlikon Skyguard LLAD (Low Level Air Defense) system which was comprised of four twin barrelled 35mm auto-cannons that fired at 1100 rounds per minute. We were zoomed by a B1 practicing runway denial that couldn't have been more than 100' agl with all four afterburners ignited. The combination of the Bone and the anti-aircraft artillery firing blanks was all the noise that could be generated at once in the world. A couple of our guys actually crumpled to the ground and were rendered insensate for half a minute or so.
That much sound beats a pair of Tom Cats leaving the airshow at Offutt, turning away from the crowd, .and kicking the burners in. My chest was reverberating from it.That was decades ago.
Back in the 80's I worked at an airbase. Where our facility was there were never any aircraft in our area, or on our side of the runway. One morning I came to work and there sat a B1 right next to our facility on a patch of asphalt that probably hadn't had an aircraft on it since WWII. Awesome being so close, and we got to go over and check it out. Beautiful aircraft! It was there for a few days and one morning it was gone when I came to work.
Thankyou for this incredible footage of this raptor. The focus on the rear of the aircraft makes for really interesting viewing and awe! The design and the engineering of the AC from this rear position gives a whole new dimension as to the complexity and detail of the design when looking at it. I don’t how how that AC holds those engines on those wings and in one perfect piece. What I wouldn’t give to have a few hours flying time in one of these. Thanks folks - I don’t get overwhelmed by the design of modern AC but this is magnificent. This is what proper money will buy - the best!
Good video! A bueatifull flying machine! seen from a different angle! Remember the first time I saw one in the raw ,30 years ago she took my breath away. the yanks have a certain style, which in my opinion is one on its own. Amazing engineering!
I remember watching these babies do bumps and circuits off RAF St Mawgan in the 80s. It was spectacular to see em roar into the sky and land from a Cornish Beach! Spectacular bomber! Saw the SR71 leave from there as well! Well chuffed to this day! What a decade that was!
SR71 and B1-B in my opinion are among the most elegant and beautiful aircraft USA has ever made besides many good ones. B1B is an absolute beauty to look at.
Cheers for the phenomenal footage of this majestic aircraft, very much appreciated and envious of your ability to get so close, what an aircraft, thanks
There's a retired B-1 as gate guardian at the aerospace museum southwest of Omaha that I see regularly. Recently repainted colorful camouflage. Beautiful impressive plane.
There's one inside the Museum of the USAF in Ohio and another one (A) model in Wings over the Rockies museum in Denver. Got to go inside one when it landed at my based back in the 90's.
What a magnificent beast. Had the pleasure of seeing one up close a few years, back when one came from Guam and stayed here for Air Power Day. Had the pleasure of being woken up and shook from the bed, at 2 am, when it fired up those engines and took off that night too.
I remember at an Air and Sea show in Ft Lauderdale 20+ years ago all these cool jets flew in and around the beach, including the Blue Angels. Great show. Then this thing rolls up and just blows the doors off, set off just about every car alarm 2-3 blocks off the beach it was so loud. People were left flabbergasted. It was awesome. What a machine.
@bobsurgranny My mistake, I looked at the time 1:44 you mentioned, and that's not afterburner. it's coming from the APU exhaust. The APU is a small jet engine itself used to start the main engines and provide power during startup.
@@tadfoster6014 Was a crew chief on them from 2011-2017. It was fun seeing the new guy's petrified face when the flame spouted from the APU exhaust. And had to assure them it was normal. LOL
@@Spartan101st I bet! I do recall going underneath the nacelles during engine runs, but don't recall ever seeing flame coming out of the APUs. Maybe that occurred after they aged a little more? I only spent about 6 months on the Ellsworth flightline before moving into Bomber Phase. Fortunately, I got to do pretty much everything you could do as a Crew Chief except taxi and fly in a jump seat. I was on the crew that put the first BONE on Alert at Ellsworth, nearly froze my ass off attached to the NLG while flight crew spun up the nukes and navs.
Definitely defines one extremely badass flying machine. Actually no other way to honestly describe how awesome this video is. Thanks very much for sharing this.
@@arnelpervandosmadrazo8479 Its just a small referrence to Americans"s fascination with "ass" and how silly it is."Bad ass, dumb ass."I killed his ass"; "We got our asses handed to us"."I decapitated his ass" is an awkward one since "decapitation" means u know what,etc and so on.They obviously think it somehow sounds "cool" but trust me it does"nt,at least not for someone who"s not born and bred in the US
Gorgeous footage, one of the most elegant designs for a warplane. They are huge up close in person, its hard to understand how big till you stand next to one!
I was in the RAF in ‘96 and was part of a small team that provided backup ground to air comms for the tower at the IAT as was known before they added the royal R to the title. This plane was there that year, and we were set up on the grass quite near the part of the runway where they started takeoff and touched down to land. To say it was loud when taking off would be an understatement, it was beyond loud and you felt it in your core. Concord also made an appearance I think, as did the B2 bomber which was equally loud. It was the 30th anniversary of the harrier jump jet that year too, seems like yesterday but it was 28 years ago… Had an amazing week, even for someone who was in the RAF that should have been less impressed or more familiar with that sort of thing.
What a machine! It has this futuristic look, especially from the rear. Almost spaceship like. And a bomber with four burners too 🔥. Lovely video, I'm feeling inspired by this one for the next B1s.
This was my platform when I was active duty USAF. Absolutely amazing badass supersonic bomber aircraft. She doesn't have a yoke, inside its more fighter than it is a bomber with a control stick. It really must be felt to be believed. This baby will change your breathing pattern and heartbeat at launch. And imagine watching this baby take off at night with afterburners. She puts out so much flame that it bounces off the runway and back up at liftoff. You may have missed this but she sucks in so much air into the intake that a wind-spout (tornado) forms. You can see one in the vid. Spent many a day using her APU exhaust to keep warm in those South Dakota winters. I miss her.
@@erazorDev Indeed it is. The APUs are tiny jet engines themselves. They are just intended to run the electrics, hydraulics and start the main engines when ready. These APU aim down from the engine nacelles so you can see why we used the exhaust to stay warm in harsh winter.
Awesome footage and thanks for sharing. Hope the exhaust kept you nice and warm! I've asked this question elsewhere but never had an answer, it's about the fairings above the engines which cover the hole where the swept wings will fold into. Generally when the B-1 is on the ground the fairings are up, however at 2:32 we do see them cycle down and then up again when the bomb bay and gear doors were closed. On other B-1 videos these fairings stay up during taxiing but close as soon as the take off roll begins. Anyone know why do they do this and why are they generally open on the ground but then close as soon as the take off roll starts?
Below this fairing is Engine Bleed Air precooler. The reason fairings stay up during taxiing is to dissipate the heat trapped in the compartment containing the precooler maybe. Maybe this isn't required, but if simple means can cool it better, engineers will adopt it. The reason close as soon as the take off roll begins is to reduce air resistance. The reason fairings cycle down and then up again when the bomb bay and gear doors were closed is structure of the hydraulic circuit maybe. That's all I can tell from the books I have The only person who can answer your question accurately is someone who has a B-1 job.
@@エタ-x2o I was a crew chief on them from 2011-2017. And you are correct but there are also some main fuel lines and the primary fire bottle and backup fire bottle. It is a pain to work in there. Especially changing the precooler blower. The area is called the overwing faring and those also sealed on top of the wings when they were swept all the way back. There is also a switch on the nacelle to reset the OWF after the engines are up and running. After the engines were started. I'd have the fire guard wall the fire bottle to the wing tip. Then walk along the trailing edge of the wing. Open the panel and push the reset button. Then walk back to the wing tip and come back to me. While I was on comms with the aircrew.
as someone who is in the engine supply chain (non-military, non-destructive testing), i am amazed of the comfort level of the crew. being that close to an engine is danger
When we were launhing these things. And the engines were running. We were not allowed to walk within 25 feet of the inlet. So the front and sides. And 100 feet behind the exhaust when on idle. You didn't dare go behind the exhaust when throttled up at all. If we needed to work on anything in the nacelle while engines were running. We would go to the wing tip and then walk along the trailing edge of the wing with our tools. And open up the cowlings. I was a crew chief on them from 2011-2017.
..I saw the Rockwell B-1 B Lancer bomber for the first time in 1997 and 1998, where my friends and I visited RIAT at RAF Fairford.. Two aircraft where parked at the static show, one from USAF Dyess Airbase, TX and the other from USAF Edwards Airbase, CA.. We met the crew of a Tiger-meet painted bomber of Edwards Airbase and had a very friendly chat with them.. We also aloud to take a look inside the aircraft, but due shortage of time of the start of the show, we had to pass.. We all where amazed by its impressive size and looks.. At the display, almost at the end of the airshow, we where amazed by the take off... It was a very noisy afterburner take off, which created a shock wave and let the ground shaking..!! An incredible piece of equipment..!! It is now being heavily modified with a new cockpit/bombardier/crew layout, with a multi display 'glass cockpit' and re-engined with even more powerfull engines.. So, this bomber aircraft will definitely stay in service at the USAF with quite some years to come..!!
Absolutely fascinating video of an amazing aircraft, i reckon its a bit scary from behind it once those massive engines are spooled up. The bone is still the loudest aircraft I have ever heard, mildenhall air fete in about 94. Jeez that thing blew my ears
Amazing video of this mighty aircraft . Just looking at it warming up gives me the shivers . I dips me lid to the pilots ground crew and the engineers who developed this monster and to you for giving us these amazing views of a military aircraft .
Amazing video. It's hard to learn about some of these aircraft unless you can see enough of the aircraft to actually formulate questions to research or ask others about. These videos are so perfect for that, I am astonished. You can even see the air vortices (3:15 and 6:00) on the front side of the engines at the air inlets.
High relative humidity and the pressure dropping in the center of the vortex cools the air enough to make water mist visible. I wonder if the vortex can pick up trash from the ground and damage an engine?
@pixelpatter01 it can suck in a person inside 10-15ft. Tarmac's have to be spot clean and regularly inspected by all personal for trash or debris (what's known as FOD(foriegn obect debris))for this very reason. You'll notice at airports there are half moon areas painted in front of the engines. You do not go in this zone with an engine running.
Worked the engines and APUs on the Bone, retired now and every now and then I get nostalgic about doing the maintenance runs on these. Quiet hours ended at 0600 and we were restricted to idle, so at 0559 we were up and running and at 6 on the dot the run-up into aug (afterburner) would shake the base and set off car alarms across the base.
Ah, a jet troop I see. I was a 34th crew chief on them from 2011-17. Loved doing the launches. But hated playing musical jets with them. Moving the aircrew from one jet to the spare. Because of mx issues. LOL! Loved doing engine runs on this thing. Putting one of the engines in Aug. And the whole jet tried going left or right depending on which engine you throttled up. Good times.
I was 34th at Mountain Home '97-'02 before they realigned the base. It was interesting, We had the Bone, -15C's & E's, -16's , and -135R's. I'd worked them all except the Bone and managed to finagle my way out to them when they tried to stuff me in the backshop.
After being away from this aircraft for more than a decade, I can't say I miss it (it was a miserable experience working on them Ellsworth/Edwards AFB), but it was definitely always fun to watch it turn JP-8 into the sound of freedom. Love the ground guy waving away the people filming it from behind. If they had stayed there during throttle up it would have sent them all tumbling for some distance.
I had the pleasure of witnessing and hearing Avro Vulcans land and takeoff when they visited the US back in the 80's, they would've given the B-1 a run for it's money in terms of noise level. The screech of four full throttle Bristol Olympus engines on the takeoff was quite the aural experience.

Can you imagine retiring from the Air Force and having this on your resume when you apply for civilian commercial pilot's job - B1 Pilot ! ! ! Two words - enough said ! ! !
I was a mechanic on this jet for 6 years. It's a love/ hate relationship with mechanics and this jet. Standing next to it in full afterburner is a trip dood.
Same here. Was a crew chief on them up at Ellsworth. 2011-2017 Loved seeing the going up in the air. Hated them coming back down. As it was most likely code 2 or 3. Never code 1. Pain in the butt to work on. But so satisfying hearing her running.
could you gather some feeback of this sort of the Russian counterpart, maybe? ...
[ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-160 ] ... I am from "so-called" Western Germany, but those who are from the eastern parts of the "once was a country" Germany often mention how easy to maintain the Russian tech stuff was ...
This was awesome to watch. I've never seen a B1 so clearly from behind.
Actually an apocalyptic work of mechanical and aviation art. Stunning

Back in 1998 as a Canadian Military Engineer I was deployed to the former Harmon AFB, an old SAC airbase in Stephenville NFLD, Canada to be OPFOR for OP MARCOT, a large NATO amphibious exercise. Our mission was to defend the airbase and for air defense we deployed the Oerlikon Skyguard LLAD (Low Level Air Defense) system which was comprised of four twin barrelled 35mm auto-cannons that fired at 1100 rounds per minute. We were zoomed by a B1 practicing runway denial that couldn't have been more than 100' agl with all four afterburners ignited. The combination of the Bone and the anti-aircraft artillery firing blanks was all the noise that could be generated at once in the world. A couple of our guys actually crumpled to the ground and were rendered insensate for half a minute or so.
That much sound beats a pair of Tom Cats leaving the airshow at Offutt, turning away from the crowd, .and kicking the burners in. My chest was reverberating from it.That was decades ago.
Felicitaciones....que experiencia che!!!!
Back in the 80's I worked at an airbase. Where our facility was there were never any aircraft in our area, or on our side of the runway. One morning I came to work and there sat a B1 right next to our facility on a patch of asphalt that probably hadn't had an aircraft on it since WWII. Awesome being so close, and we got to go over and check it out. Beautiful aircraft! It was there for a few days and one morning it was gone when I came to work.
Thankyou for this incredible footage of this raptor. The focus on the rear of the aircraft makes for really interesting viewing and awe! The design and the engineering of the AC from this rear position gives a whole new dimension as to the complexity and detail of the design when looking at it. I don’t how how that AC holds those engines on those wings and in one perfect piece. What I wouldn’t give to have a few hours flying time in one of these. Thanks folks - I don’t get overwhelmed by the design of modern AC but this is magnificent. This is what proper money will buy - the best!

Good video!
A bueatifull flying machine! seen from a different angle!
Remember the first time I saw one in the raw ,30 years ago she took my breath away.
the yanks have a certain style, which in my opinion is one on its own.
Amazing engineering!
I remember watching these babies do bumps and circuits off RAF St Mawgan in the 80s. It was spectacular to see em roar into the sky and land from a Cornish Beach! Spectacular bomber! Saw the SR71 leave from there as well! Well chuffed to this day! What a decade that was!
Never knew an airplane would look this awesome from the back!
Such a beautiful plane, from the side, front and even behind. So awesome and powerful looking.
SR71 and B1-B in my opinion are among the most elegant and beautiful aircraft USA has ever made besides many good ones.
B1B is an absolute beauty to look at.

Cheers for the phenomenal footage of this majestic aircraft, very much appreciated and envious of your ability to get so close, what an aircraft, thanks

Never ever seen this view of the B-1 ... As Stunning & Fierce as it is Beautiful
There's a retired B-1 as gate guardian at the aerospace museum southwest of Omaha that I see regularly. Recently repainted colorful camouflage. Beautiful impressive plane.
There's one inside the Museum of the USAF in Ohio and another one (A) model in Wings over the Rockies museum in Denver. Got to go inside one when it landed at my based back in the 90's.
What a magnificent beast. Had the pleasure of seeing one up close a few years, back when one came from Guam and stayed here for Air Power Day. Had the pleasure of being woken up and shook from the bed, at 2 am, when it fired up those engines and took off that night too.
I remember at an Air and Sea show in Ft Lauderdale 20+ years ago all these cool jets flew in and around the beach, including the Blue Angels. Great show. Then this thing rolls up and just blows the doors off, set off just about every car alarm 2-3 blocks off the beach it was so loud. People were left flabbergasted. It was awesome. What a machine.
Gorgeous! One of the most badass looking jets ever produced. Looks meaner than any ufo.
I was a B-1B maintainer from ‘87-‘91, it’s an awesome aircraft inside and out. I’m happy they are still flying them today!
What was the fire coming out from underneath the starboard engines at 1:44
@@bobsurgranny Just a running up the throttle into afterburner.
@bobsurgranny My mistake, I looked at the time 1:44 you mentioned, and that's not afterburner. it's coming from the APU exhaust. The APU is a small jet engine itself used to start the main engines and provide power during startup.
@@tadfoster6014 Was a crew chief on them from 2011-2017. It was fun seeing the new guy's petrified face when the flame spouted from the APU exhaust. And had to assure them it was normal. LOL
@@Spartan101st I bet! I do recall going underneath the nacelles during engine runs, but don't recall ever seeing flame coming out of the APUs. Maybe that occurred after they aged a little more? I only spent about 6 months on the Ellsworth flightline before moving into Bomber Phase. Fortunately, I got to do pretty much everything you could do as a Crew Chief except taxi and fly in a jump seat. I was on the crew that put the first BONE on Alert at Ellsworth, nearly froze my ass off attached to the NLG while flight crew spun up the nukes and navs.
ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING FOOTAGE. Thank you for making my day. .Brilliant. Scott Somerset UK
Many thanks!
I'd hate to have it on alert, way to slow.

Gorgeous footage, one of the most elegant designs for a warplane. They are huge up close in person, its hard to understand how big till you stand next to one!
Man.... the B1 is simply gorgeous!

Beautiful footage of a beautiful aircraft thx for sharing👏👏👏👏
Fantastic video of one of my favorite Air Force aircraft! I wish I could be there in person, but your video gives me the next best thing👍
Thanks for the close up of the rear fuselage of the B-1! Have never seen the detail of sensors and aerials before! What a gorgeous Bird of Prey!!
F16 engine Mac here. Love it. What a Glorious piece of engineering
Apart from everything else the B1 is a truly beautiful plane.
Just by looking at this is amazing how efficient it operates
When they fly over the top of you, the noise pounds in your ears and the ground feel like it is shaking. Wow!!
I was in the RAF in ‘96 and was part of a small team that provided backup ground to air comms for the tower at the IAT as was known before they added the royal R to the title. This plane was there that year, and we were set up on the grass quite near the part of the runway where they started takeoff and touched down to land. To say it was loud when taking off would be an understatement, it was beyond loud and you felt it in your core. Concord also made an appearance I think, as did the B2 bomber which was equally loud. It was the 30th anniversary of the harrier jump jet that year too, seems like yesterday but it was 28 years ago…
Had an amazing week, even for someone who was in the RAF that should have been less impressed or more familiar with that sort of thing.
Great video. I loved flying it for as long as I did. I sure miss flying an exciting aircraft.
The B1 looks menacing from behind. What a beautiful piece of engineering
What a beast
What a machine! It has this futuristic look, especially from the rear. Almost spaceship like. And a bomber with four burners too 🔥. Lovely video, I'm feeling inspired by this one for the next B1s.
This was my platform when I was active duty USAF. Absolutely amazing badass supersonic bomber aircraft. She doesn't have a yoke, inside its more fighter than it is a bomber with a control stick. It really must be felt to be believed. This baby will change your breathing pattern and heartbeat at launch. And imagine watching this baby take off at night with afterburners. She puts out so much flame that it bounces off the runway and back up at liftoff. You may have missed this but she sucks in so much air into the intake that a wind-spout (tornado) forms. You can see one in the vid. Spent many a day using her APU exhaust to keep warm in those South Dakota winters. I miss her.
Is that the APU at 01:46 ?
@@erazorDev Indeed it is. The APUs are tiny jet engines themselves. They are just intended to run the electrics, hydraulics and start the main engines when ready. These APU aim down from the engine nacelles so you can see why we used the exhaust to stay warm in harsh winter.
@@J.Allen_ Interesting. In those aircraft that I'm familiar with, the APU is pointing to the rear. Thanks for the explanation.
I am fascinated by the engineering of this machine. My god!!
Awesome footage and thanks for sharing. Hope the exhaust kept you nice and warm!
I've asked this question elsewhere but never had an answer, it's about the fairings above the engines which cover the hole where the swept wings will fold into. Generally when the B-1 is on the ground the fairings are up, however at 2:32 we do see them cycle down and then up again when the bomb bay and gear doors were closed. On other B-1 videos these fairings stay up during taxiing but close as soon as the take off roll begins.
Anyone know why do they do this and why are they generally open on the ground but then close as soon as the take off roll starts?
Below this fairing is Engine Bleed Air precooler.
The reason fairings stay up during taxiing is to dissipate the heat trapped in the compartment containing the precooler maybe.
Maybe this isn't required, but if simple means can cool it better, engineers will adopt it.
The reason close as soon as the take off roll begins is to reduce air resistance.
The reason fairings cycle down and then up again when the bomb bay and gear doors were closed is structure of the hydraulic circuit maybe.
That's all I can tell from the books I have
The only person who can answer your question accurately is someone who has a B-1 job.
@@エタ-x2o Many thanks! Makes sense.
@@エタ-x2o Thanks for this
I was trying to figure this out as well
@@エタ-x2o I was a crew chief on them from 2011-2017. And you are correct but there are also some main fuel lines and the primary fire bottle and backup fire bottle. It is a pain to work in there. Especially changing the precooler blower. The area is called the overwing faring and those also sealed on top of the wings when they were swept all the way back. There is also a switch on the nacelle to reset the OWF after the engines are up and running. After the engines were started. I'd have the fire guard wall the fire bottle to the wing tip. Then walk along the trailing edge of the wing. Open the panel and push the reset button. Then walk back to the wing tip and come back to me. While I was on comms with the aircrew.
Thanks for posting brings back some great memories,
as someone who is in the engine supply chain (non-military, non-destructive testing), i am amazed of the comfort level of the crew. being that close to an engine is danger
When we were launhing these things. And the engines were running. We were not allowed to walk within 25 feet of the inlet. So the front and sides. And 100 feet behind the exhaust when on idle. You didn't dare go behind the exhaust when throttled up at all. If we needed to work on anything in the nacelle while engines were running. We would go to the wing tip and then walk along the trailing edge of the wing with our tools. And open up the cowlings. I was a crew chief on them from 2011-2017.
I was a 2A53b, avionics, instruments, autopilot systems B-1B bomber technician from 1991 to 98. She's still a sexy beast...
She sure is
..I saw the Rockwell B-1 B Lancer bomber for the first time in 1997 and 1998, where my friends and I visited RIAT at RAF Fairford..
Two aircraft where parked at the static show, one from USAF Dyess Airbase, TX and the other from USAF Edwards Airbase, CA..
We met the crew of a Tiger-meet painted bomber of Edwards Airbase and had a very friendly chat with them..
We also aloud to take a look inside the aircraft, but due shortage of time of the start of the show, we had to pass..
We all where amazed by its impressive size and looks..
At the display, almost at the end of the airshow, we where amazed by the take off... It was a very noisy afterburner take off, which created a shock wave and let the ground shaking..!!
An incredible piece of equipment..!! It is now being heavily modified with a new cockpit/bombardier/crew layout, with a multi display 'glass cockpit' and re-engined with even more powerfull engines.. So, this bomber aircraft will definitely stay in service at the USAF with quite some years to come..!!
Absolutely fascinating video of an amazing aircraft, i reckon its a bit scary from behind it once those massive engines are spooled up. The bone is still the loudest aircraft I have ever heard, mildenhall air fete in about 94. Jeez that thing blew my ears

Subtle brag that you know the name of the plane.
Amazing video. It's hard to learn about some of these aircraft unless you can see enough of the aircraft to actually formulate questions to research or ask others about. These videos are so perfect for that, I am astonished. You can even see the air vortices (3:15 and 6:00) on the front side of the engines at the air inlets.
Look at the right wingtip at 12:20.
High relative humidity and the pressure dropping in the center of the vortex cools the air enough to make water mist visible. I wonder if the vortex can pick up trash from the ground and damage an engine?
@@pixelpatter01 good question
@@pixelpatter01 мусор может повредить двигатель! Любой маленький болтик может вывести из строя, поэтому там убирают всегда и с магнитами
@pixelpatter01 it can suck in a person inside 10-15ft. Tarmac's have to be spot clean and regularly inspected by all personal for trash or debris (what's known as FOD(foriegn obect debris))for this very reason. You'll notice at airports there are half moon areas painted in front of the engines. You do not go in this zone with an engine running.
I grew on Ellsworth AFB and these were awesome to watch take off and land…
I think this is one of my favourite planes. This and the F4 Phantom.
Worked the engines and APUs on the Bone, retired now and every now and then I get nostalgic about doing the maintenance runs on these. Quiet hours ended at 0600 and we were restricted to idle, so at 0559 we were up and running and at 6 on the dot the run-up into aug (afterburner) would shake the base and set off car alarms across the base.
imagine pissing one of those big girls off would not want to be on the receive end
Ah, a jet troop I see. I was a 34th crew chief on them from 2011-17. Loved doing the launches. But hated playing musical jets with them. Moving the aircrew from one jet to the spare. Because of mx issues. LOL! Loved doing engine runs on this thing. Putting one of the engines in Aug. And the whole jet tried going left or right depending on which engine you throttled up. Good times.
I was 34th at Mountain Home '97-'02 before they realigned the base. It was interesting, We had the Bone, -15C's & E's, -16's , and -135R's. I'd worked them all except the Bone and managed to finagle my way out to them when they tried to stuff me in the backshop.
This is one of my favorites aircraft ever made...its like a Bird flying around....so stunning looking...🥇👌🏻☄️
Awesome, quality video this. Great job
I love the smell of kerosine in the morning . This is the most beautiful and my favorite plane for 30 years already .
it’s probably one of the most beautiful aircraft ever produced.
After being away from this aircraft for more than a decade, I can't say I miss it (it was a miserable experience working on them Ellsworth/Edwards AFB), but it was definitely always fun to watch it turn JP-8 into the sound of freedom.
Love the ground guy waving away the people filming it from behind. If they had stayed there during throttle up it would have sent them all tumbling for some distance.
I was a 34th Crew Chief on this from 2011-17. This video made me very notalgic. Missing hearing this beauty flying overhead.
I had the pleasure of witnessing and hearing Avro Vulcans land and takeoff when they visited the US back in the 80's, they would've given the B-1 a run for it's money in terms of noise level. The screech of four full throttle Bristol Olympus engines on the takeoff was quite the aural experience.
For sure, I witnessed avro Vulcan at air show when I was 10 yrs old and the noise was terrifying but great
Very cool camera footage. Thanks for sharing!
