Excellent B1 video. My grandfather helped build all the black planes for Kelly Johnson at the Skunkworks in Burbank. My father helped design the B1 landing gear at Rockwell in El Segundo. I’m a 3rd generation engineer and worked on the MX Peacekeeper ICBM mobile and ground based launcher at Westinghouse Marine Division in Sunnyvale. My uncle was the black sheep of the family and designed steam trains foe Walt Disney. Yes. The train that circulates around Disneyland. Our family has helped America stay safe ((and entertained) for 70 years. Thank you for posting. I’m sharing the video with my kids so they can learn about history.

If you wanted to scare the pants off the enemy in the Cold War or when the Falklands were threatened in the eighties, you put an RAF Vulcan on the runway. It's roar on reheat has never been bettered. A Delta wing destroyer.

The shot with the Burners at 2nd take off is bloody marvellous awesome work man much respect

The first time I saw the B1 in person was at the Dayton Air show in 1988 (I think it was) It did a low pass over the airfield, and the announcer said: "Ladies and Gentlemen YOUR B1 bomber!" I cried. I thought it was the most beautiful plane I had ever seen in my life! Truly, truly impressive.

Love the close up of the engine....brilliant

I was stationed at Dyess AFB from 1987 to 1994 as a B-1 instructor. Went to Palmdale in 1988 to get one from the factory. Hard to believe that what was once a new airplane is 35+ years old, and the guys flying them in this video probably had not yet been born.

I was 14 when the 1st B1 flew into Dyess. It was on a Saturday in 1985. They had an open-house going on, and all the news stations were there. It was supposed to arrive at noon, but they intentionally came a little early for surprise and shock factor flying low and fast. They flew straight over Texas Ave (back gate), scared the mess outta everybody. I lived in the trailer park on Texas Ave at the time. Everybody was outside pretty much. Maybe you can answer this- what are they doing when they take off and go up in a spiral? I still live here in Abilene, and sometimes you hear one take off and the sound just stays and stays, go outside and look up and you can the B1 WAY up there going upward in a spiral, LOUD as Hell the whole time. Then eventually it picks a direction and heads out,.

Time flies. I was stationed at Dyess AFB in Abilene Texas back in 1986-87 when these B1s first came into service. I worked on the SRAM short range attack missile.

Жыл бұрын

From my understanding, the engines used in passenger aircrafts divert a portion of the air sucked in around the engine itself and then back out at the exhaust, acting as a kind of acoustic suppression. This air is between the engine and the outer shroud, which is why passenger jet engines are fatter, due to the outer shroud encompassing the engine and the channel for the suppressing airflow.

I remember one time in Wichita, KS. A B1B took off with afterburners and I could feel my chest shake. It was at least a quarter mile away.

Oh my god, this is seriously one of the most EPIC airplane-related video's I've seen in years! So close to that plane, so many details. Great image stability and quality. I can only imagine the true loudness of those take-off's!

How loud?? I was at TAFB OKC where the B1 would come for maintenance. General Motors had an assembly facility on the South End of the field, and when one took off under military power, every car alarm at the plant went off! I heard each engine was 4x the size of a F-15 engine.

I was doing my daily lunch break walk along the Boeing field runway about 25 years ago when a B1 came down the runway taking off and just as it was passing me, it rotated with full afterburners - what a sight!

You certainly need ear defenders with those afterburners, although I didn't when I was at Fairford airshow in the 90s, while standing right at the front of the crowd line. Wow that was an amazing B1-B experience I will never forget, felt the air pressure pushing into me as well!

No 2 engines reheat didn't light you can see briefly @ 4:31 as they start the takeoff roll that the No 2 nozzle remains closed. The engines are numbered left to right (port to starboard)

No.3 on my list of favourite planes. I got to see it at the Mildenhall airshow as a kid a in the nineties. No.2 is the Vulcan. Saw that at Mildenhall too. It took off and set all the car alarms off. I still get chills remembering it. No.1 is the SR-71. Saw that take off at Mildenhall and also saw it fly over my golf course once too. In my opinion, the most beautiful machine humans have ever created.

Best time was winter, after 7 ish in the evening So these bird must sound even more teeth rattling too. Due to the fact no silencing bits needed to calm the residents...who lived at the end of the takeoff runway..

When I was in AFROTC in 1981, we stopped at Edwards AFB and got to preview the 4 original prototypes in the Rockwell hangar. Rockwell security was not happy to find us climbing into the cockpits! This was prior to the program being cancelled and then later resurrected.

I grew up in Rapid City S.D. Ellsworth AFB is probably 10 miles from the heart of the city. The B52's and then B1B's stationed there rattled the windows in town many times. It's quite impressive and deafening when a large number of these take off in a short period during a scramble.

I know that Offutt Airbase is in the direction from whence they came, though that's close to 200 miles away. I have no clue what was to the southwest. It was quite a sight to see those two aircraft roaring low overhead. I wonder how they avoid colliding with crop dusters and other small aircraft in the area. It was quite a treat, and I'll never forget my brother in law jumping up and down and yelling "Go! go! go!" at the top of his lungs as if the the pilots could hear him inside the cockpits and over the thunderous engine noise. They didn't have the afterburners on, but as fast as they were going, they didn't need them.

Working on a well site pipe inspection team and the ground started shaking so bad I thought we were having a well blowout. Naw just one of these flying a GFR exercise in an arroyo. Basically all we saw was the vertical stabilizer at our ground level
