I was at Dyess when they first came out. We nicknames it the HAWK(Holiday And Weekend Killer) because it had so many teething problems. It was also nicknamed Blue Thunder. When it took off at night and lit the afterburners there was about a 20 flame out the back. I lived a mile from the north end of the runway.

Still one of my most vivid memories in the air force was working an exercise on the flight line when one of these badass machines went screaming overhead low with bomb bay doors open. Knowing the purpose of the exercise was base defence by the f15's, I had to chuckle knowing that one snuck through the net. Not to mention the air raid sirens didn't go off until after they made their bomb run on the flight line, I had to tip my hat to that crew that day.

As a kid, I grew up around these at McConnell AFB Wichita. This video fore not do the B-1justice. A standard takeoff without after burner would have every car alarm going off for miles from the air strip. They said its noise was the equivalent of 4 F4s in afterburner. One lost an engine training in Colorado and they didn't even know it fell off the plane. Just a fire light. That thig is a beast.

When these were stationed at McConnell AFB in Wichita, Kansas they would have 'Afterburner Nights' every third Thursday of the month, and you could witness this from the old Wichita Airport, now an aviation museum. They really put on a show, and you could actually get very close to the runways to watch these incredible aircraft. When these things flew by...man...if you haven't witnessed it up close and personal, put it on your "bucket list", as it is well worth the experience. Grown men weep, women spontaneously orgasm, and cries of "God Bless America!" will spring from your lips without thought! I didn't miss too many shows, I only wish they were back in Wichita.

I recall seeing these when they were new, circa 1981. Their low flying capability was breathtaking then, The Soviets developed a "look down shoot down" radar system to contend with them.

The loudest,most powerful aircraft I have ever heard and thats coming from someone in aviation for 20+ years. A B1 did a low pass on its way to a nearby airshow. He was dirtied up.slow and then kicked in full burners. I could feel my organs rattling. It set off car and hanger alarms for a good 1/2 mile and broke glass at the Fbo.

I the current engines were variant from the F14, F15 and produce a max thrust of 30,000 with afterburner. The new engines for the F35 have a variant in testing that puts out 50,000!! No plans that I've heard of to re-engine the plane as of yet. I think they gonna call it the B-3. The latest upgrades on the B1B involve digital flightdecks, Link16 digital networking, pinpoint targeting capability, and multiple ejector racks to be able to deploy 3 times as many smaller JDAMS.

the b-1 is super sonic capable but by law in most areas your are not aloud to break the sound barrier. the loop hole in this law is that you can fly 1mph under the sound barrier and still be legal. the vapor at the end was caused when the plane was extremely close to breaking the sound barrier and high humidity

the "copy" of the F-15 would be the su-27, su-35 is a modern version of the 27, but the 27 was the threat at the time, its what spawned the ATF program which led too the F-22, all stealth aircraft will look somewhat like a f-22, that's what makes them stealth, that particular shape allows for small rcs, not really a copy just how there built.

Greatest fighter of WW2 was the P-51, and it's nothing like anything the Germans had flying. Werner von Braun's designs weren't stolen if he came along with them. And he got his rocket ideas from Robert H. Goddard. The Apache was a refinement of our Cobra gunships, which were the original of this type of helicopter. And don't forget, rockets & aircraft were first invented and flown here.
