Nice! Notice the camera rocks at brakelock-release. Only drawback to this video is that it doesn't hold on long enough at the end. Thumbs Up.

I'd give anything to fly one of those...

TY for making this video!! AWESOME work!! And for NOT putting any stupid music in, but instead just letting the engines say it all, TY TY!!! She is a beautiful airframe that's for sure. VERY Happy that Former President Ronald Reagan gave approval for her construction and use.

Great video, thanks for posting!!! I wish it would have lasted longer, after the Bone got airborne..! In my opinion, we need more beautiful, 'professional' HD video's like this one, showing 'heavies' like the B-1, B-52, B-2, and others, taxiing, getting airborne or landing. No irritating background music needed, just the aircraft in all their brutal beauty, with the roar of their mighty engines providing the 'music' themselves! A treat for the true military aviation enthousiast!

Nice work...Were you hiding behind the bushes to get these shots ...Ha...Ha...Or I take it you knew somebody, or had some kind of press pass.
