My late husband worked on the flight line and I watched these beautiful wondrous aircraft take off many times. The ground actually shook and the noise blocked every other sound. The sight always brought tears to my eyes; I was so proud to be an American!

In my eyes the B-1 is the most awesome and beautiful aircraft we have produced since WW II.

@ Dafydd - Thanks for sharing this…. I used to be stationed at RAF Fairford (Cotswold outside of Swindon). I worked on the flight line, lol - this brings back memories, FOB checks and Runway Inspections…”Ops 1 to Tower, requesting runway access.

Many thanks for watching. Happy you enjoyed it and hope it brought back happy memories.

Lancer and the Stratofortress. My two favorite bombers. I think the Stratofortress looks alot more menacing than the B1, but no doubt the B1 has the edge with technology, speed, avionics, and maneuverability. I was at an airshow where the B1 and B52 were both performing aerial maneuvers.....My God, I couldn't believe the rate of ascent the B1 was achieving at such a steep attack angle! And after gaining some altitude, the B1 pilot rolled the craft over into an inverted dive and swept the wings back with full afterburners and......Boom, boom, boom.......that's all you heard as the bomber was achieving supersonic speeds. Amazing!. Thank you for this awesome video. It brings back great memories of me.spendin time with my family at military airshows.

Always so amazing to see “The Bone”!

Absolutely awesome! Gives me goosebumps and tears at the same time!!

Amazing, three object's in motion, the scenery, the plane and the bird all at the same time! Fantastic, well worth the cost of fuel 🐦

I am not sure whether that bird was curious, jealous, but just passed off that the aircraft was in HIS airspace without clearance from Air Traffic Bird Control!

I remember one of these came through NAS Pensacola when I worked in the control tower years ago. Just about dusk and departed. What a beautiful sight. I think I had my DSLR. I need to find the pics again. Absolutely love this aircraft.

That would be a sight to behold first hand...

Great video. Nice to see Fairford RAF station. 1954 I went TDY there B47 from Mt Home AFB Idaho on alert carrying A Bomb.

Takes me back to my childhood in the 80s and the movie Real Genius, where college nerds from Cal Tech sabotage the targeting system on board a B1 which just had a 2 Megawatt laser installed on it that they built, so that when it fires, it cooks popcorn in their professors house…. good memories.

Fine piece of flight aviation.

I remember one of these visiting RAF Waddington for the annual airshow many years ago. It was tradition for visiting aircraft to make a spectacular takeoff when heading home, the B1 lined up on the threshold, engaged full re heat... And burnt the paint off the old wooden perimeter fence, which was about 100 feet behind it! Happy days!

One came over for the RAF Leuchars air show in 1988, it did a slow speed fly past and went round again. Second time it did a swept wing very high speed fly past and landed off the third approach. Bloody marvellous!!! The people of nearby Guardbridge were not so enamoured and the following year when one came over it did a straight on approach and landed! Booo. Still an awesome aircraft. Cracking footage. 😁👍

I can only imagine how loud and powerful that sounds if you're there.

Hum at the end " Bird catches up to the Bomber". Not really just looked odd at first. The bird cuts in front of the Bomber as it lands.

Awesome video. I’ve never saw a B-1 take off-not even on KZread. I remember being in high school when I read about the development of a supersonic bomber. (It is supersonic isn’t it?) Question: after a full after burner take off, do they need to refuel relatively quickly, or does the Lancer have “long legs.”

@@DafyddPhillips I don’t remember when, exactly, 1 or 2 years ago, US did one of its freedom of navigation maneuvers in South China Sea. In stead of sailing through, they sent two Lancers along the Chinese 12 mile edge of Chinese national waters. I believe they sent an F-15 from Japan just in case China tried to intercept the Lancers. China was pissed, so the US did it again a few weeks later.

One of these flew over me today in Somerset 😍

That poor runway just when it rotates. I guess it's going fast enough by then that it only gets the heat momentarily though

And took every inch of of the SAC standard runway! I used to fly KC-135s out of the same base

Daffydd how do we go about ordering pics off you because I would seriously love to get some of your work.

Did that large bird hit the left wing of the B-1B on approach of landing ???

🔥🔥🔥🔥

That was so awesome dude. I've seen these a lot. I don't think I've ever seen one fly though. He bounced, does he get credit for two landings?😅

Did you see a bird flying pass the B1 airplane, how fast was it?

Why do this unless it's a short runway, you are scrambling all jets to get them off the ground while you can, or there's a heavy payload, or an emergency payload that requires fastest possible delivery, or their a maintenance or other testing necessity for doing it ???

Does this bomber have to go "full blower" to get off the ground, only to aerial refuel soon after takeoff? The specs on its minimum takeoff speed don't seem readily available.

Procedures for military jets with burners calls for A/B takeoffs any time the computed takeoff distance is more than 50% of the available runway. It’s a safety thing.

For first time this aircraft looked so outdated to me! I think the current state of industry of airplane making is so primitive. We need to develop new technologies and push the boundaries of science so we can create more robust and elegant flying machines. The bird which was flying for a few moments in front of your camera view made me to think of this! Airplanes are so yesterday, flying wings are the future!
