B-1 BOMBER MAKES INCREDIBLE STEEP BANKING CLIMB AT FAIRFORD 4K

A trip down to RAF Fairford bagged some take off and landings from B1-b bombers deployed there from Dyess Air Force Base, Texas.
On return after a short exercise one of the pair gave us a touch and go followed by a steep climb in full afterburner. The steep banking to that followed was and incredible sight.

A B1 going into reheat is the loudest sound I think I've ever heard, it was absolutely incredible.

[@trvman1]

"Karen" is all upset at the noise and called the Air Force to complain :)

[@edhorton2766]

Eh? I heard Humble Pie in the Illini Student Union Ballroom. It was absolutely incredible too.

[@MtnCommando]

Same here. Saw/heard it once years ago in Wichita, KS. Sounded as if the sky was literally exploding/tearing up

[@themilksnatcher]

Typhoo and f15 were quite loud iv stood 30 metres from a vc10 test run at dunsfold. That hurt!

[@Braun30]

Sorry, The title belongs to a Vulcan scramble. Saw a 4 piece scramble once, must have been late 1960s. Nothing beats that.

[@theevil-g-nius7085]

This still has to be one of my all time favorite planes ever made! So sinister looking yet so effin graceful. Great vid..thanks!

[@rowgli]

For me that accolade goes to the TU-160... The B-1 is more polished construction perhaps, but once the TU-160 takes off it sheds the sightly more utilitarian design cues

[@mecofranklin2402]

Agreed! Mind blowing...........

Thank you topfelya. Hope your keeping well My friend

[@oldiron1223]

@@DafyddPhillips Cannot do it justice. I was Air Force for 25 years. Was posted to Eielson near the end where the air density in sub zero weather would intensify sound. The Bone was one of the very few I would leave the nice warm office at -30 to watch take off. Four after burners lit, 250 feet in the air and the ground was still shaking. Only thing close is a Top Fuel dragster launching.

[@DafyddPhillips]

@@oldiron1223 must of been great times. I watched some top fuel dragsters in Vegas a few years back, that was insane!!👌

[@thunderamu9543]

Brings back very fond memories working on the Romeo AWACS Alert Ramp at Tinker AFB in the early 90s. Functional check flights were quite an event. The most beautiful F-106B with high vis paint would taxi and blast off, disappearing out of sight south of the base. The Bones would taxi by 30 feet from us after a depot overhaul and take the active. Then all four burners were lit with brakes held to let them stabilize. Rattled our guts like you were driving down a washboard dirt road, brake release and max acceleration. Right as they rotated, the dart zoomed in from the south and tucked right in for a terrific close formation climb out. At the recovery of the sortie, several touch and go approaches were executed. At touchdown, burners were lit and the plane was aggressively rolled and climbed more steeply than in this video and within the confines of the base perimeter with it all hanging out, full flaps and gear down until the final full stop landing and taxi back to the mile long building. Good job Dafydd!!! I wish the viewers could feet their stomachs and chests being shaken!

Always good to see them out and about over my house in Gloucestershire, as well as the 'Spirits' from time to time. I particularly enjoyed all the B52's over a couple of days earlier in the year!

[@ezvibe8310]

The first time that I ever saw a B-1, I was on a mountain top in far West Texas, late 1980’s. This particular B-1, must have been from Dyess afb, flew below us and it had a phantom on either side. It was an incredible site.

[@WildAzzRacing]

One of the most beautiful aircraft to ever to take to the sky, IMO!

[@-108-]

This is not your opinion; This is FACT. 🙂

[@dannomano2851]

A few months ago I was heading west on I-20 About 15 miles from Big Spring TX and I noticed out of the corner of my eye a B1low level hauling ass perpendicular to the high way coming straight for my vehicle. He passed right infront of us and then he pull up almost vertical. It's a beautiful sight.

[@-108-]

I witnessed a similar sight just outside Death Valley, CA, near Shoshone. There were 2 of them flying tandem, and they were using terrain-following radar, hugging the foothills, through which the road I was on led. It was one of the coolest sights I'd ever seen!

[@tamipalin8171]

With its incredibly sleek physique, the B-1 is hands down, the most beautiful aircraft, bar none. An F-22, F-16, SU-27, B-1, and B-21 each have their attributes. But for pure art form, the long, slender, curvaceous B-1 has no rival.

Funnily enough I have had the same thought before seeing this comment, these B1's coming up through Bwlch would be awesome 👍😁

[@fw1421]

Every air show that I’ve been to that the B-1 has flown they’ve done the same routine and towards the end they will do a relatively low pass and then do a steep pull up with a sharp climbing turn on afterburner. The B-1 was made to impress. Plus it’s about the loudest aircraft I’ve ever seen with those 4 after burning engines. I can’t imagine what the XB-70 was like with 6.

[@a.barker7792]

I was in a zone, now restricted, riding a wave runner, during a low ceiling air show. The "Bone's came full afterburner and went straight up over my head into a cloud and GONE. The most impressive thing I've ever seen in my life. I can still remember the SOUND, smell of aviation fuel and wave heat too this day.
