The sound of freedom is correct, because Air Force nuclear forces are ready no one dares to attack the United States codrin 1st. Strategic Air Command stood ready for 46 years. You must not have served to understand the dedication of all military men and women.
This is honestly the most beautiful bomber in the USAF inventory, and I don't understand why they took off the nuclear capability. This is the fastest bomber we have and in order to ensure prompt strike capability we really should have it nuclear capable, but also capable of dropping some nice 2,000 pounders. The RCS on the B-1 is also much lower than the B-52. Refit the Bone so it can carry ALCMs, the B83+B61 and replace the aging B-52s!
Ooohhhh there's the sound of freedom wat a fuckin cock love the b1 just hate the fuckin yankeedoodles that fly it give it to a British pilot and he will hit the mark everytime and not take 3 attempts to hit a target ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I assume you are British? I respect you and yes it is an impressive aircraft, but may I say our patriotism is not misguided. It is an honest feeling of love for our country and the freedom it provides us. As far as the sound of freedom, that's a figure of speech, yes it is jet engines, but quite nice jet engines at that.
@WaffleEatingWorld Perhaps patriotism isn't misguided. Maybe I just mean certain manifestations of patriotism can be misguided. I think that American patriotism is commendable, except where it focuses on your military might etc. I think that in the past British patriotism was focused in a similar way, and was similarly misguided. There are probably better things to be patriotic about than how well equipped a country is at being able to kill people. I don't know. I still like the plane though.
Nice flyby vid. I actually wanted to see the Navy adopt a version of the B-1 Bravo, as the PB-1 Charlie (shooting Mk 50 torpedoes from forward and sonobuoys from aft and packing a magnetic anomaly detector in the tail)---it would be able to evade SAMs that would have the P-3 Charlie for lunch.

@ww2footage Last time I checked the B-1B is a low level strategic supersonic bomber...how is that a failure? If one of these was coming at you with a full payload of bombs, look out! The B-1B is far from a failure. Everybody says the TU-160 is better...has it ever been used in combat? I would take the B-1B any day of the week.
@bassplaya1549 ... B1-B is not supersonic but subsonic ,with real bombload under 15 tons while flying near ground so it can be shot down by every Stinger/Igla or Schilka/Tunguska or even vintage "WWII like AAA" (because it is not stealth so only way to penetrate air defence is low fly)... B1-B is an epic fail
@beeroosterm ... well ok it is a 1.2 mach plane so it is 0.2 mach faster than any other subsonic 0.99 mach jet-turbine plane - it was 2 mach plane but it was decided to make changes to it will be slightly stealthier but significantly slower - so now US Air Force have under 15 ton bombload, nonstealth 1.2 mach bomber , I must repeat that ... B1-B is an epic fail
@ww2footage You should probably stop using whatever source you have for what you're saying. The B-1 has the largest payload of any U.S. bomber. That's just assuming 3 bays of GBU-31's and not any other configuration. But since it's an epic failure I guess that's why its been the OEF workhorse from day one.
@ww2footage "The B-1B has the largest internal payload of any current bomber....In March 2008, the B-1B became the first aircraft to fly at supersonic speed using synthetic fuel." -(airforce-technology<.com)
A little effort and it's amazing what you can research in 1 second ;)
tu-160's have recently been re-instating UK airspace penetration missions off the north of Scotland, so they are not to be taken lightly, are still capable and could bring you out in a nasty rash if provoked! The b-1-b is awesome though!
For all unpatriotic Americans and foreigners, if im correct the USA has beat russia ( including the class that the b1b and tu-160 are in) in just about every avionics class, not to mention nuclear warfare. Yes the blackjack might outperform the b1b but if WE ( USA) built a plane 10 or 15 years after the blackjack wouldnt it be better? DUH.
Sorry WRONG, the first version of the B-1, the B-1A was flying in the early 1970's long before the first Tu-160 prototype 70-01 made its first flight Dec. 18th 1981, first production aircraft flew on Oct 10th 1984. First production B-1B 82-0001 was delivered on 06-29-1985. First B-1A was rolled out Oct. 26 1974. The A was the pototype for the B. Hard to claim first roll out for the 160 when you were still working on Tu-22M3 in the 70's.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sorry if my rude comment (bad mood)! But it is proven fact that tu 160 have twice more speed, bigger payload and more importantly already have elements of plazma stealh tech incorpotated. This tech was succesfuly tested when plane flew undetected near british air space
I dont recall the last time the TU-160 ever did anything? Obviously no one really wants war to happen but if you got to go i'd rather take something with a proven Combat record that kicks some serious ass. I'll take the B1B as my friends in the sky
i went to the midland CAF airsho 2009 today, this aircraft is SOOOO much better in person, to see a plane of that magnitude going that fast in person, only a few hundred yards away, is amazing, bar none.... and no theres nothing negative you can say about it
Mirimar 05. A B-1B Lancer sits out before the taxiway, parked on the western side of the Mirimar Air Show. A perfect sunset right over the distant mountains, making it dark enough to only see the beautiful plane's silhouette. Picture perfect. I take out the camera out of my jacket, and hold it up, admiring the scene I am about to capture. The camera runs out of battery and shuts down, a second before my finger presses down to take the picture.
its pretty funny when half wit people like bunnyfoofoo83 come on youtube and make fools of themselves by taking a completely unjustified shot at someone who can't defend himself. Actually, no it isn't, its seriously g@y. What would be great is if people like bunnyfoofoo83 decided to keep there sophomoric, angst-ridden drivel to themselves.
it is a bombed but all the pilots compare the manuevarability of it as a fighter jet. Yes it is that nimble even when it is loaded to the 200K+ lbs. :)
Silent death. By the time you see it. 100+ 500 lbs are raining on your parade!
The fighter-jet maneuverabilty of the B-1B is mostly mythical. It started when the media types noticed it uses a stick rather than a yoke like most large planes use. True, it is more manueverable than a B-52, but it's no fighter jet. It weighs close to 100 tons empty, risining to 160 tones loaded. That makes it decidedly on the sluggish side. Also, the most I've ever heard of it carrying is 84 500lb bombs. Maybe you can corry more externally, but I've only heard of cruise missiles. It's not F-15
Nope. Most pilots that flew the B-1b came from a fighter program. Mythical perhaps to those that have not actually worked on the plane. The plane is exceptionally manuverable. WIll it brake 9g's? Nah, none of the parts will hold especially the "pins" that make the swing wing possible. But if the pilots are saying that. Who am I (or anyone else that has not piloted the craft) to argue to the contrary?
And yes they do have external mount points for additional armament.
Exactly. Maunverable for a plane of it size does not mean as maneuverable as a fighter. That's just a way to make a point. And I am aware of the external hardpoints; I just said as far as I know, they are used (rarely) to carry cruise missiles, not extra bombs. But in practice this is rarely used as external stores will greatly reduce the speed and range of the plane, which are two of the B-1's greatest assets.
Basically, it can carry more than enough inside, so there is little reason to carry external stores. Thats also why (asie from stealth) the F-22 and F-35 haave internal weapons bays. In any case, it's picking over a small point and it doesn't really matter. I was just being my usual perfectionist self, and correcting you for no good reason. I think we all know what you meant.
last time. I am not the ones saying the manuevarability of the fighters. THE PILOTS themselves are! I was not going to argue with Majors, Captains, and even full bred Col. on what they thought. That is what they felt, I will take it as that.
I watched this behemoth fly at the miramar airshow back in 2006 or 2007 (can't remember). What stuck out was watching it do a high speed fly-by and doing an inclined barrel roll as it passed the crowd. Very impressive, one of my favorite bombers right behind the B-52.
saw this aircraft at RAF mildenhall... what a noise!! seriously never heard so many car alarms and children crying in all my life when it came for a low high speed fly past... amazing piece of machinery...!
Can it Take Off Vertically? Like the F35. If it can't, it's a worthless crap. Lol, I was kidding, pals. American weaponry are the Best. Do not listen to some russian asses hu would say their is better. just say the F word to those idiots. America was, is, and always will be the Best. I do not mind if Russia comes second though, no problem. Lol
both are from the same time, where variable wings were very "popular". Same with the Tornado, the TU 160 and the MiG23/27and some others. All are from the mid 60's to the late 70's. That was the "variable wing time".
that was my aircraft during my AF days, It's fast, huge,and packs a massive punch. Glad to see it's making a difference today!! We didn't call it the Lancer, to us it was the Bone ;)
I've seen a B1-B perform at an airshow....they are a remarkable piece of machinery. So the USAF has a good mix of long range aircraft. B1, B52, B2..all have thier place in our arsenal.given the long expected lifespan, the logical next aircraft, a long range supercruise stealth will be a long way off.
And for those of you who wasn't an adult during the cold war, I would strongly suggest to look up movie "Dr. Strangelove" on Netflix or in your local video store. It gives rather funny, but true idea why USA needed something like B1.
ur a dick. WTF has Dr Stranglove got to do with an airshow? I suppose your one of those people who would like to have negotiated your way out of the cold war? Lefty faggot.
I like the commentator of this video..'thats the sound freedom'. It sure is.
I was wrong saying that B1 is not supersonic. It is supersonic, but at high altitudes. Initial concept, however, was that B1 should fly supersonic at ground level. But it was abandoned due to the changes of global strategic view of possible conflicts. Namely the end of the cold war. So its purpose was redefined as well as the requirements for speed and other performance characteristics.
It was not designed to go supersonic at high level, it was designed to go supersonic at low level, which is a trait it still maintains today. This tactic has not been abandoned, however it's role in nuclear warfare has been removed; the B-1B is now strictly a conventional munitions bomber
The B-1b Lancer is a Strategic Long range Heavy Bomber capable of supersonic flight (over Mach 1.5). It is largest airframe to utilize a swing-wing design and holds several world records for speed, payload and distance.
Less resistance with higher altitude. Aircraft aren't meant to fly at sealevel, they're meant to fly at altitude (upwards of 20,000 feet) where jet engines perform much better with less resistance. The B-1b is indeed rated at 1.2 Mach at sea level but that's not where it routinely operates.
This is very common mistake to think that sonic boom is caused by BREAKING sound barrier. In fact It's caused when the object moves faster then the speed of sound and creates the shock wave. Learn physics. As the planes go, they do create this shock wave that can shatter the windows when fly too close. It's loud, but not louder then the artillery shot. Nobody died from it yet.
It was made to fly supersonic to arrive at it's target and leave the area as quickly as possible while avoiding anti-aircraft weapons, it's design is first generation stealth technology to avoid radar detection while carrying the maximum payload for it's size.
I am told it has a radar signature comparable to a Cessna.
It does have terrain following technology and fly quite low, very fast. A tactic to elude radar detection.
A sonic boom can kill livestock. B-1's have done it before. When scared their heart wont restart like ours will. Kinda like when you say "my heart skipped a beat."
I'm lucky enough to get to work on the B-1 every day. To fully awaken this beast is a frustrating task but once alive...God help you if you happen to be its intended target...
the b1b it not a concept. there has been 100 of them built. i know because my dad was in on both the building of them and the bird strike program on all 100.
I used to work on the b-1 @ Grand Forks AFB. Seeing them w/ all the ventilation hoses for the electronics would make anyone believe the frustration. They leaked plenty of fluid as I recall as well.
You can't hear it coming when it's low and fast. By the time you hear it, the bombs have already been released and you're toast. The F-111 series was the same way. The Laotians called them "Whispering Death" during the conflict in Vietnam. Flying as low as 50 ft off the ground at over mach 1.5, and the jungle blocking the view, they didn't know what hit 'em! I've worked on both the B-1B (5.5 yrs) and the FB-111A (10 yrs) as a jet engine tech. I know them very well and have flown in both.

it is a bombed but all the pilots compare the manuevarability of it as a fighter jet. Yes it is that nimble even when it is loaded to the 200K+ lbs. :)
Silent death. By the time you see it. 100+ 500 lbs are raining on your parade!
figuwx 2 years ago
The fighter-jet maneuverabilty of the B-1B is mostly mythical. It started when the media types noticed it uses a stick rather than a yoke like most large planes use. True, it is more manueverable than a B-52, but it's no fighter jet. It weighs close to 100 tons empty, risining to 160 tones loaded. That makes it decidedly on the sluggish side. Also, the most I've ever heard of it carrying is 84 500lb bombs. Maybe you can corry more externally, but I've only heard of cruise missiles. It's not F-15
justforever96 2 years ago
Nope. Most pilots that flew the B-1b came from a fighter program. Mythical perhaps to those that have not actually worked on the plane. The plane is exceptionally manuverable. WIll it brake 9g's? Nah, none of the parts will hold especially the "pins" that make the swing wing possible. But if the pilots are saying that. Who am I (or anyone else that has not piloted the craft) to argue to the contrary?
And yes they do have external mount points for additional armament.
figuwx 2 years ago
Exactly. Maunverable for a plane of it size does not mean as maneuverable as a fighter. That's just a way to make a point. And I am aware of the external hardpoints; I just said as far as I know, they are used (rarely) to carry cruise missiles, not extra bombs. But in practice this is rarely used as external stores will greatly reduce the speed and range of the plane, which are two of the B-1's greatest assets.
justforever96 2 years ago
Basically, it can carry more than enough inside, so there is little reason to carry external stores. Thats also why (asie from stealth) the F-22 and F-35 haave internal weapons bays. In any case, it's picking over a small point and it doesn't really matter. I was just being my usual perfectionist self, and correcting you for no good reason. I think we all know what you meant.
justforever96 2 years ago
Listen,
last time. I am not the ones saying the manuevarability of the fighters. THE PILOTS themselves are! I was not going to argue with Majors, Captains, and even full bred Col. on what they thought. That is what they felt, I will take it as that.

I watched this behemoth fly at the miramar airshow back in 2006 or 2007 (can't remember). What stuck out was watching it do a high speed fly-by and doing an inclined barrel roll as it passed the crowd. Very impressive, one of my favorite bombers right behind the B-52.

both are from the same time, where variable wings were very "popular". Same with the Tornado, the TU 160 and the MiG23/27and some others. All are from the mid 60's to the late 70's. That was the "variable wing time".

I've seen a B1-B perform at an airshow....they are a remarkable piece of machinery. So the USAF has a good mix of long range aircraft. B1, B52, B2..all have thier place in our arsenal.given the long expected lifespan, the logical next aircraft, a long range supercruise stealth will be a long way off.

And for those of you who wasn't an adult during the cold war, I would strongly suggest to look up movie "Dr. Strangelove" on Netflix or in your local video store. It gives rather funny, but true idea why USA needed something like B1.

syeager9 2 years ago 2
I was wrong saying that B1 is not supersonic. It is supersonic, but at high altitudes. Initial concept, however, was that B1 should fly supersonic at ground level. But it was abandoned due to the changes of global strategic view of possible conflicts. Namely the end of the cold war. So its purpose was redefined as well as the requirements for speed and other performance characteristics.
syeager9 2 years ago
It was not designed to go supersonic at high level, it was designed to go supersonic at low level, which is a trait it still maintains today. This tactic has not been abandoned, however it's role in nuclear warfare has been removed; the B-1B is now strictly a conventional munitions bomber
Jumpshot724 2 years ago
And B-1 was initially intended as supersonic bomber. However when nuclear attack strategy was reevaluated, most production planes were made subsonic.
syeager9 2 years ago
You are false.
The B-1b Lancer is a Strategic Long range Heavy Bomber capable of supersonic flight (over Mach 1.5). It is largest airframe to utilize a swing-wing design and holds several world records for speed, payload and distance.
ChiefHoot 2 years ago
Actually it's max speed is mach 1.25 at sea level
Jumpshot724 2 years ago
Less resistance with higher altitude. Aircraft aren't meant to fly at sealevel, they're meant to fly at altitude (upwards of 20,000 feet) where jet engines perform much better with less resistance. The B-1b is indeed rated at 1.2 Mach at sea level but that's not where it routinely operates.

IF IT BREAKS the sonic boom over your head, your dead......it was made to fly supersonic low to cause death to civilians

BushBlewUpTwinTowers 2 years ago
This is very common mistake to think that sonic boom is caused by BREAKING sound barrier. In fact It's caused when the object moves faster then the speed of sound and creates the shock wave. Learn physics. As the planes go, they do create this shock wave that can shatter the windows when fly too close. It's loud, but not louder then the artillery shot. Nobody died from it yet.
syeager9 2 years ago
It was made to fly supersonic to arrive at it's target and leave the area as quickly as possible while avoiding anti-aircraft weapons, it's design is first generation stealth technology to avoid radar detection while carrying the maximum payload for it's size.
I am told it has a radar signature comparable to a Cessna.
It does have terrain following technology and fly quite low, very fast. A tactic to elude radar detection.
A sonic boom itself cannot kill anything.

A sonic boom can kill livestock. B-1's have done it before. When scared their heart wont restart like ours will. Kinda like when you say "my heart skipped a beat."

You can't hear it coming when it's low and fast. By the time you hear it, the bombs have already been released and you're toast. The F-111 series was the same way. The Laotians called them "Whispering Death" during the conflict in Vietnam. Flying as low as 50 ft off the ground at over mach 1.5, and the jungle blocking the view, they didn't know what hit 'em! I've worked on both the B-1B (5.5 yrs) and the FB-111A (10 yrs) as a jet engine tech. I know them very well and have flown in both.
