B1s take off and high speed fly by.

B1s departing Abbotsford 2001.

[@sammiwaddell5421]

My dad is the pilot of the second B1! Kansas 081!! He's retired now of course, but it's so cool to finally see him in action! Thank you so much for posting this!!

[@hazmatt3250]

When a bomber sounds like a fighter, you know you're about to have a very bad day.

[@1000saib]

This is called "The sound of freedom", folks. Those who have not seen/hear it in person, please try to do so in your lifetime....and you will never regret it.

[@tomcat810]

Heh, usually it's the last thing people hear.. If you catch my drift haha

[@SargeRho]

+Rob G Actually, Europe has a metric fuckton of immigrants, mostly from Africa, Asia and South America, varying from country to country, just sayin'.

[@jrftworth]

+Vincent Dow Well imagine that, a peace protester American hating, commie libtard. I am fucking over-whelmed. When you win the Nobel Peace prize for solving America's and the worlds problems, come tell us how we've been doing it all wrong, until then, shut the fuck up !!!

[@blairthandi7058]

I am glad I got to see this thing take off twice in my life, once in 2005, and again in 2006. 2006 was the very first airshow I attended in Abbotsford, and while we were parking, The B-1B was getting ready to taxi out for takeoff.

[@Judyiack]

So damn cool! Love how the wings sweep backwards at high speed.

[@saiyanninjawarriorz]

Imagine knowing that monster is coming for you.

[@blueticecho5690]

Ha .. they would back in the hanger before you even knew they were there..

[@charlespierce5813]

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.

[@CockatooDude]

That must have been so damn cool.

[@Cash_McCoy]

Gorgeous airplanes!!! To see something that big going that fast... amazing!

[@delta4093]

Why do I enjoy watching this so DAMN much???

[@BatteriiiOriginal]

It is because of the Awesome fucking sounds!

[@delta4093]

FOCKIN' RIGHT!!!

[@MrBen527]

Delta40 Its kickass!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jrftworth]

+Delta40 Cause it's plane porn, Lol

[@delta4093]

Premium plane porn at that...

[@dhh02192]

I had no idea these could break the sound barrier. Wow!

[@bigchiefmingingbolok]

one of the most awesome looking(and sounding) planes ever, quality!

[@hawaiianstyler]

When I was a fueler back home @ Honolulu Inter., 4 B1's coming out of Hickham AFB taxied by me while I was waiting for my next plane to gas up. When I saw them cruise by I drove my truck as close to the runway as possible. Taking off with full burners, sitting about 300 ft away was freakin' AWESOME!!!!!!! The truck shook, my insides shook, my Coke can shook off the dash board, and car alarms inside the parking lot was going off! Watching the video brought back memories. FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[@Stanimal62]

The most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life was a fly over by 2 B-1's at a Winston Cup race in Loudon NH....they came in like two big slugs, struggling to stay airborne until they got about 100 yards from the track and punched it straight up into the blue sky. I thought my heart was going to stop, it was unreal!

[@diavolorosso69]

So awesome! Thanks for posting this! I saw one on static display years ago at an airshow at Loring AFB, when it was still so secret it was cordoned off & protected by very serious USAF personnel with their fingers on their triggers & equally serious guard dogs beside them, but never saw one fly :( Now I HAVE to see one in the air!!

[@hankh4107]

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.

[@crazycarl00]

The B1-B is my absolute favorite airplane. The noise this monster makes is surreal. It's such an elegant plane.

[@DannoAviation]

Absolutely incredible… breaking the sound barrier right in front of you, what a sight!

[@1321wulff]

I was stationed at Grand Forks in the mid 80's. I watched the B-52's fly away and The B-1's come in. It was a amazing sight to drive onto the base and see em flying all over. I recall them them firing up the engines and shaking the windows in our barracks!

[@navtel]

most impressive plane ever..

[@blairthandi7058]

My goodness, the sound. I remember I was in a berry field, and when this thing took off, it was so ow, and loud, I was amazed. Last time they were here was in 2006.

[@Survival4theFamily]

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.

[@RubenP1946]

I've been out in the desert and had one of these fly over head. Turning and burning thru the low foot hills, right down on the deck!!! Awesome.

[@bajaman123X]

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.

[@srussert28]

In All that is Holy and Unholy...Sacred, Unsacred, Blessed and Unblessed...Malevolent and unmalevent...Damned and Cursed Stick what ever Dieity, God or Belief you put your heart and soul into and all I can say is ...HOLY CRAP I REALLY Miss Afterburner Thursdays with the B-ONES. Watching one on my ladies birthday going over the house in afterburner seeing the shockwave spikes in the afterburners is just icing on the cake.

[@swdist68]

I was stationed at McConnell AFB, when they had B1-B's and they were impressive, especially at night. They have those long blue flames coming out the back and a loud rumble. Nice.

[@iStarwinkle]

One of the best B1 videos on youtube. Thanks for sharing!

[@Fun4Sly]

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. These planes were cutting-edge at one time. They still can kick ass - fly right over the poles and ruin some A-holes day.

[@justinf620]

This flew over the Texas Rangers opening game. I was in the parking lot playing some beer pong and this shit was sooooo loud. Ive seen many fighter jet flyovers, and B-52 flyovers and this one was far superior to any other flyover I've seen. My favorite Fighter Jet is the JSF. They are test flying them right now. awesome to see in the sky

[@1BlueStarRising]

What A Awesome Man Made Bird with Such grace . I watch them often when the thunderous vibrations come I grab my camera to see it I can capture their fly by's .Its not always so easy as they are way up high and go so fast. Got one with after burners one eve :-) With Wings Spread ! Awesome Indeed :-)

[@JIMJAMSC]

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.

[@navy831ari]

I'm one the few lucky guys to have been up in the flt deck of one these awesome planes.That was in Perth, Australia.I actually was in training at Mcconnell AFB in Kansas and these were plenty many there and never got a chance.Ironic that a Singaporean(me) gets trained in USA, right next to these planes, and gets his chance in Australia. Love the sound

[@quilla333]

sooooo coooooolllll i saw them at an air show in massachussets impresive display of speed and power

[@sevenrats]

The spitfire was the best fighter. The mustang had long range capability which allowed it to protect the bombers that won the war. The spitfire was a beautiful plane, smooth and graceful.

[@TheTruthHurtsYup]

This place is sick.Saw one fly out of Nellis airforce base a few months back, sounds like the space shuttle the sound is so loud and thunderous.

[@amgv8400]

wow love those vapor cones at the end ;)

[@ChrisZoomER]

The B-1 is so scary when a doing high speed fly-by having its wings swept all the way back and its engines engaged with full afterburners!

[@bobelayer]

That second B1 almost let that vapor slip past the tail which would mean he would've broken the sound barrier.

[@billlunsford4301]

One of these bad boys took off at a airbase 2 miles from my house and my GOD I thought the damn world was ending it's so loud! Besides the Harrier these B1 B's is the loudest of all jets!

[@ThaOlBoy]

LMAO!!

[@Nekuf_Gruven]

@hawaiianstyler I completely agree. My father escorted and raced a B-58 Hustler back in the day in an F-101. Coolest story I ever heard from him.

[@astrav25]

The Bone flew over my house during the JBMDL Air Show 2012! Very cool.

[@str8nupflyrite]

A heavy bomber that maneuvers like a fighter and sounds like a rocket... BADASS

[@ExUSSailor]

The deafening sound of kerosene being turned into POWER!

[@marcuslinnus1]

a work of art as well. simply a beautiful airplane

[@fz671]

I used to see these on their training missions in N Central Montana. I damn near ran off the road watching them lol

[@viper3141]

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.

[@danahan01]

Nice job catching the vapor cone on the flyby.....

[@N321MM]

headed skyward like a homesick angel

[@Lilybro2806]

When you see these bad boys coming in combat, you know that someone is about to get unloaded on!!

[@ImmortalSynn]

Four engaged afterburners.... reminds me of Concorde so much. RIP white swan!

[@mzimm460]

great job of keeping the plane taking off in frame usually people lose it in the sky great light to good job.

[@dhh02192]

Starting late in the video at 4:35 I believe they are breaking the speed of sound, as there is the classic pressure wave building around each plane.

[@medalton03]

The F-15 was actually designed in response to the MiG-25 Foxbat. While the Soviet counter to the F-15 was the Su-27, which was a larger and somewhat different design.

[@semco72057]

That bomber have plenty of horsepower with those engines blazing after it takes off, and they can bring it back safely too.

[@AtheismWorldWide]

I remember a few years back I was surfing at Fort Lauderdale beach (during an air show) and I remember looking north (the direction the aircraft were mainly coming from) and I see this black spec, looks like it’s not moving. Then I notice it’s the B-1 Bomber (demon-bitch, sexy, with claws) and the feeling of this thing going by at a hundred feet or so gave me a memory I’ll never EVER forget. The force, the power, that this thing created was better than sex…trust me!

[@BlueAngels1]

i work over at the ellsworth air force base in box elder south dakota has a night shift stocksman over at the commsairy and when i am on break i go out side watch them fly over and i live in rapid valley south dakota and i am outside some times when the B1s fly over my house and it is cool

[@bassplaya1549]

@kunsan12003 Yes, now most of the B-1s are from Dyess or Ellsworth...but these were based at McConnell AFB in Kansas. Not sure if the 384th Bomb Wing from there has been retired or not...I'm guessing it is...Actually their are a couple from Edwards AFB as well.

[@ghm389]

The good ole days of airshows, when they had variety. Not really worth going to anymore...

[@DredMLM]

The Bone rules!...saw demo and cockpit at McGuire AFB 2012 air show....crew was very nice!

[@fiik420]

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

[@ScorpionRanchTX]

Such a great plane. I love it!

[@4LetterGaming]

Beautiful plane

[@SonOfAB_tch2ndClass]

The PAK FA looks like the product of the Raptor, Black Widow II, and Flunker series having a three way... :D

[@paranormalinquisitor]

You sure have a wonderful spot for planewatching

[@Cousin-Eddy]

Truly a great asset to have, could probably make a great troop transport variant... say 4-10 man team, drop out of sonic flight to jump... could work.

[@Rottweilermaster27]

Thank you very much

[@tenacious645]

The blue angels were here last weekend and out of the 2 airshow days I saw this plane fly over 3 times and then I never saw him again :( moral of the story is 4 after burners = better than all 6 blue angels :)

[@jonny96]

Give me Fuel.....Give me Fire... Give me that which I desire!!

[@lahluv]

this is the very first time i ever seen a b-1 bomber. i never heard of the b-1 bomer either until now. kinda looks like the concorde

[@DeathWatchatMidnight]

Good job tracking the planes and excellent audio!

[@px002]

@amasucci111 those vapor cones appear when aircraft are reaching the speed of the sound barrier.

[@DavidHill333]

Fine looking aircraft !

[@ricardomctrollstein3102]

WE NEED TO BRING THE AVRO VULCAN BACK! B1 rules!

[@elmernewkirk8646]

Helped build them at NAAO Rockwell , Columbus OH

[@Nekuf_Gruven]

@hawaiianstyler Same thing happened to me minus the coke cans at Langley. Pure utter American love the B1 is.

[@bassplaya1549]

@kunsan12003 Actually they are from the Kansas Air National Guard.

[@ROCKSTARCRANE]

Second only to the Connie for sheer beauty.

[@richardharris8229]

Love the con trails as they rotated

[@gabrielnavarro3833]

Those aren't Contrails. Contrails are caused by engine exhaust at high altitudes from hot jet exhaust mixing with lower vapor pressure. Contrails are from engines, not wings or bodies.

[@bassplaya1549]

Awesome...nice vapor at the end

[@jahuuhuuhuu]

Very nice, good video. Super Sound!

[@stubbostubbs]

LOL. Masters of the Friendly Fire Incident. Dream on Septic.

[@allgood6760]

Fantastic! 👍✈️

[@superskullmaster]

@ampsanne the C-17 isnt that big. I was stationed at McChord AFB for almost 6 years. It looks bigger in the air than it does on the ground for some reason. You wanna see big, the C-5 is a monster. I always got excited when one showed up, but now with the new engines going on them its just another big plane.

[@jimemanuel8540]

Excellent flight tracking!

[@shstrang98]

I bet it was a real rush to have two of those blast by with afterburners on.

[@juliannortheast2271]

Great very loud takeoffs and fast flyby

[@bmelo909]

B-52 70,000 lbs of payload,very long range,high altitude...it still works very vell

[@t110d93]

Vulcans were neat at air shows because they were LOUD

[@DOVlogs]

it was breaking the sound barrier

[@newcoyote]

This video was taken walking distance from where I live. I just happened across it. I am really looking forward to seeing F-35s too. We're getting them in Canada but man do they ever squabble over spending.

[@stubbostubbs]

No mate, I`m not. Its in the B1 post but if you read the post history I'm just singing its praises as an agile, VERY AGILE 50 ton bomber! I was comparing it really to the B52 which is a truck by comparison. Some Americans see that as blasphemy as they cant see past their own noses. I ask you to fully view some of the Vulcan vids on here and then tell me its not a thing of beauty and also an amazingly maneuverable piece of Brit engineering. 30 yrs separate the Vulcan and the B1 . PS, CHEERS!

[@hawkplaya94]

theres a lot based at dyess afb in abilene texas and some at minot afb in north dakota

[@kapitalisttas]

YOU MAKE MY DAY THANKS

[@hawaiianstyler]

That's cool, racing the B-58. Too bad they never built that plane, that was a cool bomber that could haul ass.

[@19AshesOfRoses47]

My nephew flies one of these and it scares me to death !

[@fartsmeller9296]

You're wrong comrade. The B1-B has a max payload of 50,000 lb (22,700 kg) EXTERNAL & 75,000 lb (34,000 kg) INTERNAL stores. total equaling 125,000 lbs the Tu-160 has a max payload of 40,000 kg (88,185 lb)

[@MrGeforcerFX]

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.

[@laliux32]

why people can not see a cloud of compression due to high humidity in the air without saying that a plane is breaking the sound barrier? in this show took videos of a B-52 on a pass low and fast, as I lift the nose are visible clouds above on wings, the b-52 is not supersonic, the b-1 if it is, but here is not broke the sound barrier

[@gus1138]

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.

[@daveo211]

@bassplaya1549 that vapor is the result of them just barely breaking the speed of sound.

[@johnhoward3159]

My fav plane

[@DustyCowdog]

Pure Bad-Ass!

[@surething1011]

Very nice, but a pain to work on! I should know, I did for 4 years.
