B1B 86-095 departs RAF Fairford 30-03-24 (Headphones Recommended)

Ome of the most beautiful aircraft ever to fly

reminds me of a dog, like a wolfhound, with whiskers.

[@colyniek]

I agree. The Americans instinctively seem to know how to make things that look good

Bunny running across the field at 3:30 .......just after yeah!

[@SpenzOT]

And now it's deaf.

[@geebee8784]

Yeah ! I saw it too !

[@MrKjshiz]

I saw one of these very early one morning from Lambert International in St. Louis. The sun was just coming up and I hear this thundering sound ... it was a Lancer in full afterburner mode taking off.. it looked like a rocket laying on its side. Just incredible as it took off into the sunrise.

[@scopex2749]

SUPERB 4 burning and turning! I like the way the wing fold doors close at 3:43! I was an aircraft engineer in the RAF in the cold war, we rarely saw the B1 But the B52's were regular visitors at our base! They came over on detachment, for bombing competitions against our Vulcans. Sadly now the UK have no large bombers left.... (big mistake). The B52's would take off in a group of 6 early in the mornings returning in the afternoons. The USAF guys were great to work with and we showed them British hospitality and loads of beer! GREAT FOOTAGE I go here to see RIAT now Greenham Common is closed - it used to be held there.

[@youchris67]

Thanks for hosting us, Mates on the other side of the pond!

[@johnbridges6867]

A Legend and What a Splendid looking aircraft! One of Gods Mighty Warriors that an enemy would NOT want to mess with! Happy landings Always good chaps. JB. UK.

[@boblozaintherealworld3577]

Not a military veteran (like my parents and oldest brother), yet I appreciate all who serve, AND as a designer, I especially love the function and form of our American military aircraft. Too many to mention, so I'll just say the B1B is the best! We used to live in Burbank CA in the flight path of military jets on their way to a fly-over of the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. One year it was two or three B1's. Uh-mazing. Thanks to all the pilots.

[@serioustoday]

Seen it once at an airshow. Truly spectacular. Sound and sight.

[@888jackflash]

That really is a beautiful, svelte aircraft. I stood behind one at an air show; I'm over six feet tall and could stand tall inside one of those engine nozzles.

[@craigmoloney4486]

To the retired F-111 crew chief i had a posting to a squadron when I was in the RAAF what a machine it was!

[@DougBrighTan_o7]

Beautiful and awesome footage of the afterburners from the B-1B Lancer !! 😊

[@markhansen3111]

Great aircraft. I was fortunate enough to work the program in Columbus, Ohio.

[@johnscreekmark]

Cool as hell to pilot that thing!

[@LIKWID]

The noise of the burners coming in is unreal. Incredible footage and audio mate. Superb!!

[@Mac-1Media]

Thanks mate

[@dr_jaymz]

I love the Skylarks at the end singing to each other - "yep, good try".

[@nazkia3293]

I keep checking riaat updates for this to be confirmed. Would love to see this flying in person. Fingers crossed!

[@kilgorewashere8213]

I was a mechanic on the first 7 of these b1b ❤❤

[@lawrencejames8011]

Liked the March hare.

[@stringer-ik1pc]

[@sugoidessho]

Beautiful. And no electric engines can replace the power of those.

[@obsoletevalues6209]

When Russia and the U.S. signed the START treaty in 2007 to reduce nuclear armament, the B1 Lancer had a metal sleeve welded to a pylon to prevent the B1 from carrying cruise missiles. Now that Russia has backed out of the START treaty, does anyone know whether the U.S. is enabling Lancers to once again carry cruise missiles? With North Korea, China, and Russia all talking about nuclear war, it would seem a prudent step.

[@JTV84]

it would considering what the Tu-160M can carry.

[@derekv8534]

It wouldn’t be worth it to re-configure them since they’re being retired soon.

[@Slider_84]

It can carry cruise missiles again. Lots. Google it

[@MilitaryAircraftVideos]

Very nice video👍I've often wondered what the trail of something at the back (centre left) is, it was still trailing as it passed overhead at 09. It can't be fuel surely!

[@Mac-1Media]

I think it is fuel, if you watch closely at the wing joint when he jolts forward you can see some fuel splash out

[@MilitaryAircraftVideos]

@@Mac-1Media Blimey, wouldn't fancy that back there with the ABs but must be a design feature for venting. Your video is so clear you can see a little outlet it emerges from👍🎞

[@Mac-1Media]

thanks it's filmed on cinema spec camera :)

[@MarkBrooks-y9k]

That big bad mother rocking the Cotswolds what an Aircraft that is nearly as nice as the AVRO VULCAN ( Being British & only living 2 miles from where it was built 👏👏👏👏👏 both stunning Aircraft .😊😊

[@jwhaley616]

That is a Lancer used as a long range heavy bomber. She has been a workhorse for the USAF.

[@FS2K4Pilot]

I SO want to see on of these launch out of Saint Maartens!

[@jamesschroder5944]

I was a software engineer on these guys in the early 80's.

[@shortaristocrat69]

What is that thing that closed at 3:43? And what role does it play?

[@Mac-1Media]

it's to do with the wing sweep, that locks the wings in position when swept the wing folds into that area

[@shortaristocrat69]

Oh, thanks, got it And yeah, really nice video! And especially that rocket engine sound from afterburners!!

[@Mac-1Media]

@@shortaristocrat69 thanks much appreciated

[@DavidSherman-m5l]

I have yet to see one of these beauties doing this up close.

[@terryweatherford5070]

Was at Citadel vs. VMI game in Memorial Stadium in Charlotte and the pre-game flyover was a B1. When they came over the end of the stadium the concrete stands were shaking enough for drinks to fall over. It was so low they must have been out of regs.

[@MrPerry61]

Should see it at night. the afterburner is awesome

[@Mac-1Media]

I have, check my instagram got a slow-mo burners at night

One of the primary missions for which the B-1B was designed is the in-conflict delivery of nuclear weapons. 😲

[@dr_jaymz]

Whats leaking out of what looks like a short antenna at the back? Its dribbling as it lines up then when afterburners light it starts to smoke then after its going down the runway it smokes a lot. Is it some kind of bleed or breather?

[@nightjarflying]

Normal fuel leak

[@dr_jaymz]

@@nightjarflying Normal fuel leak? Thats not great is it pouring parafin out all over the local countryside? Is it coming out of a tank vent because of the acceleration.

[@nightjarflying]

@@dr_jaymzB1Bs have always leaked somewhat from various places. Huge aircraft with a lot of airframe stress due to loads, manoeuvrers & temp changes. Don't know the cause of this one.

[@mikemurphy7711]

I thought maybe the afterburners were starting to burn off the paint on belly? Sounded like a rocket on HiFi speakers!!

[@santiagocastro3178]

is that the vulcan...????

[@CB1000FP1]

No its an American B1, there are no British Vulcans left flying anymore they were all scrapped or put in museums

Makes one proud to be an American but at the same time it makes one sad to think what that awesome machine is designed to do.

[@grahammaguire404]

If that's a beautiful aircraft then I'd like to say the VULCAN is absolutely "GORGEOUS" from Every conceivable angle come rain or shine , the designers must have smoked and drank some exceedingly strong and illegal substances to produce the B1and the VULCAN
