Had the honor to guard this plaine on my service in the belgian army. In 1991 it was the main atraction of the belgian airshow at koksijde. Saw this plane land when i was on duty. When it parked , a service van came to us and stopped. The crew said if whe want and take a closer look at it. One thing they said , please dont touch the plaine because it is so static loaded that you would be killed. When they release the stacic load into the ground whit cables.the pilots came out. Verry nice guys who asked to us if whe would be the guards for the plaine. Do you want to go inside it they said? Our mouths fell open, and we had the chance to go inside. Believe it or not. Never forget it in my life. In my 12 months duty this was one of the most spectacular things that happend to me.

My buddy and I attended the air show in Oshkosh Wisconsin on a regular basis. This particular show featured the B-1 bomber which flew level about two hundred feet above the airfield. When it got to the end of the runway it made a sharp climbing right turn and hit the after burners which were aimed directly at the crowd. The massive thundering sound wave of those engines at full throttle and after burners felt like my body was in the ring with a Heavy weight champ. The words that comes to mind are pummeled and battered by oceans of air hitting me almost at the speed of sound. I turned to face away from the blast and it threw me to the ground. IMPRESSIVE. My buddy, who has since passed away stood 6' 4" and was thrown to the ground almost instantly. We both agreed this was the best show we had ever attended.

Back in 1998 as a Canadian Military Engineer I was deployed to the former Harmon AFB, an old SAC airbase in Stephenville NFLD, Canada to be OPFOR for OP MARCOT, a large NATO amphibious exercise. Our mission was to defend the airbase and for air defense we deployed the Oerlikon Skyguard LLAD (Low Level Air Defense) system which was comprised of four twin barrelled 35mm auto-cannons that fired at 1100 rounds per minute. We were zoomed by a B1 practicing runway denial that couldn't have been more than 100' agl with all four afterburners ignited. The combination of the Bone and the anti-aircraft artillery firing blanks was all the noise that could be generated at once in the world. A couple of our guys actually crumpled to the ground and were rendered insensate for half a minute or so.

When we were launhing these things. And the engines were running. We were not allowed to walk within 25 feet of the inlet. So the front and sides. And 100 feet behind the exhaust when on idle. You didn't dare go behind the exhaust when throttled up at all. If we needed to work on anything in the nacelle while engines were running. We would go to the wing tip and then walk along the trailing edge of the wing with our tools. And open up the cowlings. I was a crew chief on them from 2011-2017.

I was in the RAF in ‘96 and was part of a small team that provided backup ground to air comms for the tower at the IAT as was known before they added the royal R to the title. This plane was there that year, and we were set up on the grass quite near the part of the runway where they started takeoff and touched down to land. To say it was loud when taking off would be an understatement, it was beyond loud and you felt it in your core. Concord also made an appearance I think, as did the B2 bomber which was equally loud. It was the 30th anniversary of the harrier jump jet that year too, seems like yesterday but it was 28 years ago… Had an amazing week, even for someone who was in the RAF that should have been less impressed or more familiar with that sort of thing.

오! B-1의 뒷모습을 이렇게 자세히 본건 처음 이네요.좋은 영상 감사합니다.

[@butchgreenfield1238]

Love the ground vortex on the left inboard engine!!

[@judefernandez827]

Amazing video of this mighty aircraft . Just looking at it warming up gives me the shivers . I dips me lid to the pilots ground crew and the engineers who developed this monster and to you for giving us these amazing views of a military aircraft .

Интересно сколько безвинных людей убил этот самолёт? 100-1000?

It looks like something out of Star Wars.

I started working for Rockwell International October 1983. 41 years ago. Worked on all 100 B models.

Bucket list #1 -- Fly a B-1. Not ever gonna happen, but wow. What a beast! A testament to 1980's technology gone wild. Engineering overload.

Nicely done Dan 👌

[@spitfirenutspitfirenut4835]

Why nice. HE MISSED THE ENGINE START UP.

The engine starts 3 Minutes into the video

Ya really have to watch the APU exhaust, get to close it'll take your eyebrows off on startup!

[@nyanates]

We were leaving an air show right under one of these when it was taking off. It wasn’t just loud. It was deafening and thunderous to the point you felt it in your bones for miles. These birds are a wonder but aren’t meant for commercial airports and their surrounding neighborhoods.

This was my platform when I was active duty USAF. Absolutely amazing badass supersonic bomber aircraft. She doesn't have a yoke, inside its more fighter than it is a bomber with a control stick. It really must be felt to be believed. This baby will change your breathing pattern and heartbeat at launch. And imagine watching this baby take off at night with afterburners. She puts out so much flame that it bounces off the runway and back up at liftoff. You may have missed this but she sucks in so much air into the intake that a wind-spout (tornado) forms. You can see one in the vid. Spent many a day using her APU exhaust to keep warm in those South Dakota winters. I miss her.

[@erazorDev]

Is that the APU at 01:46 ?

[@J.Allen_]

@@erazorDev Indeed it is. The APUs are tiny jet engines themselves. They are just intended to run the electrics, hydraulics and start the main engines when ready. These APU aim down from the engine nacelles so you can see why we used the exhaust to stay warm in harsh winter.

[@erazorDev]

@@J.Allen_ Interesting. In those aircraft that I'm familiar with, the APU is pointing to the rear. Thanks for the explanation.

THIS JET IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WHO EVER DESIGNED THIS JET DID A GREAT JOB THE OUTSIDE LOOKS BAD ASS VERY INTIMIDATING

Badass bomber with sleek lines, totally a beautiful piece of art!

[@milnei]

Awesome footage and thanks for sharing. Hope the exhaust kept you nice and warm! I've asked this question elsewhere but never had an answer, it's about the fairings above the engines which cover the hole where the swept wings will fold into. Generally when the B-1 is on the ground the fairings are up, however at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="152">2:32</a> we do see them cycle down and then up again when the bomb bay and gear doors were closed. On other B-1 videos these fairings stay up during taxiing but close as soon as the take off roll begins. Anyone know why do they do this and why are they generally open on the ground but then close as soon as the take off roll starts?

[@user-xg4ei5zm8j]

Below this fairing is Engine Bleed Air precooler. The reason fairings stay up during taxiing is to dissipate the heat trapped in the compartment containing the precooler maybe. Maybe this isn't required, but if simple means can cool it better, engineers will adopt it. The reason close as soon as the take off roll begins is to reduce air resistance. The reason fairings cycle down and then up again when the bomb bay and gear doors were closed is structure of the hydraulic circuit maybe. That's all I can tell from the books I have The only person who can answer your question accurately is someone who has a B-1 job.

[@milnei]

@@user-xg4ei5zm8j Many thanks! Makes sense.

[@bobsurgranny]

@@user-xg4ei5zm8j Thanks for this

[@kylebieth3678]

I was trying to figure this out as well

[@Spartan101st]

@@user-xg4ei5zm8j I was a crew chief on them from 2011-2017. And you are correct but there are also some main fuel lines and the primary fire bottle and backup fire bottle. It is a pain to work in there. Especially changing the precooler blower. The area is called the overwing faring and those also sealed on top of the wings when they were swept all the way back. There is also a switch on the nacelle to reset the OWF after the engines are up and running. After the engines were started. I'd have the fire guard wall the fire bottle to the wing tip. Then walk along the trailing edge of the wing. Open the panel and push the reset button. Then walk back to the wing tip and come back to me. While I was on comms with the aircrew.

Wow, I didn’t realize they were that huge!! Plus I didn’t know that more than two people operated them. They are awesome looking, I actually think that if the nose was tilted downward this thing would look like a concord

Me and my old man always referred to them as Concorde on steroids😂 its our favourite plane. What a beauty.
