Earlier today, I posted a great Ground Support Aircraft, the awesome A-10 Warthog!!! I now bring you one of our three largest Bombers, the B-1, which some call the "BONE" (Get it?).
It is one of three strategic bombers in the U.S. Air Force fleet as of 2021, the other two being the B-2 Spirit and the B-52 Stratofortress.
"This may be the most stunning B-1 Lancer video ever. This Video includes: B-1 bombers taxiing, takeoff, aerial refueling, bomb drop training, and landing.
I highly recommend that this video be watched FULL SCREEN WITH SOUND UP, for obvious reasons... (These are big birds!)
A marvel of high-tech engineering, the Rockwell B-1B Lancer is a supersonic variable-sweep wing, heavy bomber used by the United States Air Force. The four-engine supersonic jet was originally designed for nuclear capabilities but later switched to an exclusively conventional combat role.
The Rockwell B-1 Lancer[N 1] is a supersonic variable-sweep wing, heavy bomber used by the United States Air Force.
The B-1 was first envisioned in the 1960s as a platform that would combine the Mach 2 speed of the B-58 Hustler with the range and payload of the B-52, and was meant to ultimately replace both bombers. After a long series of studies, Rockwell International (now part of Boeing) won the design contest for what emerged as the B-1A. This version had a top speed of Mach 2.2 at high altitude and the capability of flying for long distances at Mach 0.85 at very low altitudes. The combination of the high cost of the aircraft, the introduction of the AGM-86 cruise missile that flew the same basic profile, and early work on the stealth bomber all significantly affected the need for the B-1. This led to the program being canceled in 1977, after the B-1A prototypes had been built.
In the early 1990s, following the Gulf War and concurrent with the disestablishment of SAC and its reassignment to the newly formed Air Combat Command, the B-1B was converted for a conventional bombing role. It first served in combat during Operation Desert Fox in 1998 and again during the NATO action in Kosovo the following year. The B-1B has supported U.S. and NATO military forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Air Force had 62 B-1Bs in service as of 2016. The Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider is to begin replacing the B-1B after 2025; all B-1s are planned to be retired by 2036.
I hope you all enjoy this phenomenal video of the B-1 Bomber...

More Air power footage- the B1 is not my favorite airframe. Not as dependable as the B52- but it has neat bells and whistles on it. When it flies.

Thank you for your comments! It looks pretty sleek and it does fly up to 60,000 feet, so not too shabby... I agree with you about the B-52...

when I was at Grand Forks, they usually didn't fly during the winter. bad de-icing systems on the wings

SrA John Monette - or during the summer because of a plethora of issues. Shitty airframe and sometimes cramming so much neato stuff into a system doesn't make it the best.

Sgt (Join to see) Remember the First Time I Saw One at Dyess AFB Texas and Remember the Last Time I Saw One, Doing an Attack Run on My Ship as Part of an Exercise Entering Strait of Juan de Fuca! Pretty Impressive Aircraft.
