[@carlbunner5515]

I worked for rockwell during the b1b production . Saw them fly almost everyday for a couple years. Everytime a b1 passed final inspection. The airforce pilots would do a flyby. Most the time it was .85 @ 300ft off the deck . But every once in awhile they gave us a real treat. 100ft off the deck .95 and a pretty roll as they pulled up and flew off .

Sonic Boom ?? Usually Sonic booms are not allowed if u near an airbase that is close to residential areas

[@Zeguyfromgermany]

With all due respect, I have to disagree a bit. If it would have reached serial production, the title of the coolest plane should go to the XB-70 Valkyrie. But it was obsolete by the introduction of ICBMs, and I can understand why it was cancelled.

Thank you so much for sharing this. The Bone is my favorite USAF aircraft of all time! I had the honor and privilege deploying to an undisclosed location during OIF where the Bones were located and will never forget the opening of the war with the Bones launching late at night. They were fully loaded and I lost count of how many took off. The sound and feelings were unforgettable and it was so surreal listening to and watching each one launch as it was like watching fireflies during the summer as their engines were burning so bright in the distance after they departed. It was the most amazing, awe inspiring, and terrifying thing as we all knew how much they were carrying and the destructive power they were bringing to bear. Thank you for sharing this once again.

[@scottnj2503]

Impressive, just the right ambient light. Magnificant aircraft. I love the spool up, the exhaust nozzels close, the AB kicks in...flames, the exhaust nozzles open, more flames and the great crackling roar of those great GE F101's. The images and sounds of the greatest airpower the world has ever known. Hell Ya!

My father was a flight instructor USAF, TX in the mid 50s. Late in life I asked him the different planes he flew as we were on the way to his chemo appointment, he named so many that there was no way I could remember them all. We also spent 4 years in Hann AF base in Germany. When he got out of the military, he flew private corporate jets (Sabreliner). At his memorial service on the video at the end we played a Sabreliner taking off with that distinct sound, and the caption said Last flight and his name.

[@p51abc]

Great story, thanks for sharing. It should be mentioned that the Saberliner was originally built for the military, so in way he was flying a military jet (sort of).

About half way through the show it was announced over the PA that they were stopping the show because the B1 was being called up and had to leave ... NOW. I can't remember if they did an afterburner take off but they did do a afterburner low pass over show center. The ground shook and car alarms were going off.
