Excellent B1 video. My grandfather helped build all the black planes for Kelly Johnson at the Skunkworks in Burbank. My father helped design the B1 landing gear at Rockwell in El Segundo. I’m a 3rd generation engineer and worked on the MX Peacekeeper ICBM mobile and ground based launcher at Westinghouse Marine Division in Sunnyvale. My uncle was the black sheep of the family and designed steam trains foe Walt Disney. Yes. The train that circulates around Disneyland. Our family has helped America stay safe ((and entertained) for 70 years. Thank you for posting. I’m sharing the video with my kids so they can learn about history.

I spent most of my adult working life from say 1982 to 2001 working at either Plant 42, Edwards AFB, and China Lake NWS for several construction companies doing projects for all the companies, Air Force, etc. Spent a LOT of time around this bird, saw it fly many times. I was there for the ship 95 rollout/maiden flight with Bush Sr there :0( Pilot broke the sound barrier and came in doing 2 barrel rolls at maybe 500 feet of the deck.

I was 14 when the 1st B1 flew into Dyess. It was on a Saturday in 1985. They had an open-house going on, and all the news stations were there. It was supposed to arrive at noon, but they intentionally came a little early for surprise and shock factor flying low and fast. They flew straight over Texas Ave (back gate), scared the mess outta everybody. I lived in the trailer park on Texas Ave at the time. Everybody was outside pretty much. Maybe you can answer this- what are they doing when they take off and go up in a spiral? I still live here in Abilene, and sometimes you hear one take off and the sound just stays and stays, go outside and look up and you can the B1 WAY up there going upward in a spiral, LOUD as Hell the whole time. Then eventually it picks a direction and heads out,.

From my understanding, the engines used in passenger aircrafts divert a portion of the air sucked in around the engine itself and then back out at the exhaust, acting as a kind of acoustic suppression. This air is between the engine and the outer shroud, which is why passenger jet engines are fatter, due to the outer shroud encompassing the engine and the channel for the suppressing airflow.

The B1B affectionately known as the BONE for B ONE is an incredible aircraft. The original B1 was to be a much larger plane much like the Soviet TU160. It was canceled by President Carter judged to be unsurvivable over Soviet territory, the same reason the XB70 Valkyrie was never put into production. This made the Soviets very angry because they already knew how to shoot it down. President Reagan restarted the program as a scaled down terrain hugging plane as a stopgap until the Stealh B2 was ready. By treaty the B1B was converted from a nuclear bomber to a non nuclear bomber which found many other types of missions to perform. It is said that the sound is so loud that it alone was enough to frighten off the Taleban in Afghanistan. The US hasn't produced an intercontinental nuclear bomber in 30 years. The next generation of American fighters and bombers is expected to eclipse everything the US has in its arsenal now by a wide margin in every meaningful way. This angers America's enemies because it thwarts their ambitions for military conquest, proof that deterrence through strength works while the hope for peace by appeasement fails. It's a lesson Europe might finally be learning. Let's hope our next president understands that as well. I have concerns about him.

At around 210 dB it is lethal. Very loud low frequency sounds frighten animals. Watch the reaction.of a dog in a thunderstorm or during a fireworks show. The infrasonic rumbling, sounds below audible frequencies prior to an earthquake send all animals fleeing in panic. Therefore it is not unreasonable that the stone age Taleban would be terrified.

A great plane no doubt, but nothing beats the noise and howl of the Vulcan

@Snoopy that must of been awesome. One of my only regrets in life not joining the RAF, would have loved to be working on various aircraft etc

I've seen one immediately go vertical directly after takeoff... like the B1 told the ICBM to hold its beer. Awe inspiring machine.

No you didn’t. You saw a steep climb out. The B1B cannot climb vertically.

It's difficult to describe how loud a B-1 Lancer really is. It's like standing in a hurricane. Brutal screaming....

Wonderful, truly the sound of FREEDOM. I lived in Europe for over 35 Years, for several years in Spangdahlem, Germany, the USAF Air Base there is in a highly populated area, the Locals, the German citizens, never complained even though a lot of aircraft were landing and taking off night and Day, even when the C5M was getting airborne, the people also said its the sound of Freedom. God Bless and protect our military,PLEASE.

We live 35 miles from Dyess AFB and always know when the B1 goes over. The roar can be heard for quite a while after they pass as it gradually fades in the distance. They shake the ground and roar is second to none. Nearly as loud as thunder rolling in my estimation.

Had one come over my head west of Luke AFB at White Tank Park Indian Ruins and Petroglyphs, these are LOUD and Awesome and you know what they carry is deadly. I have been as close to a B-52, they are BIG but these are just different!

I lived in the flight path of the local military base. We could tell when they’d take off away from us because the engines would rattle our windows with every plane. Three would go three at a time make a few fly bys and touch and go’s then would land. Then do the same thing in the afternoon and evening. I feel lucky. We loved our B1-bombers.

The B-1 is B.A! People talk about the B-2 but it can't fly in the rain. The B-1 is the star of the show.

I worked on 99 B1B’s from 1983 until laid-off in 1994. I was recalled back to work in 1998 but transition to California Department of Corrections in 1995.

Thank you for the "loud noise" warning. That's like catnip for pilots. I put my headphones on and cranked it up. Awesome sound, thank you.

I’ve been in the vicinity of these things taking off snd I’ve never heard anything as loud as these big jets taking off in my life. That’s coming from someone who worked on an aircraft carrier launching planes.
