Pilot has to abort and try again as incredibly loud B1 bombers shake the ground on take off 🔥 ✈️

Two Rockwell B-1B Lancers taxi for take off at full afterburner, but the second one has an issue lighting up and has to abort, taxi and try again. As they launch, the entire ground shakes, car alarms sound, and the camera wobbles uncontrollably. Sound warning. ⚠️

The supersonic bomber planes (nicknamed 'Bones') of the 7th Bomb Wing from Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, are currently deployed to RAF Fairford, a bomber airfield for the US Air Forces in Europe. There are a total of four B-1 Lancers deployed for Bomber Task Force 23-3 in the European theater.

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.

[@kg1966]

Time flies. I was stationed at Dyess AFB in Abilene Texas back in 1986-87 when these B1s first came into service. I worked on the SRAM short range attack missile. At the time when it entered service, it was strictly a Cold War nuclear only bomber. When I arrived at Dyess in 1986, there were only 3 delivered. By 1987, we had 29. I love the B1.

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.

[@gregparrott]

0:08 What a GORGEOUS aircraft. If you ignore its function and just look at its lines, it is by far the sleekest aircraft ever built. The B-2 looks alien. But the B-1 looks like Pininfarina designed it following his work on the best Ferraris and other sculpted artworks.

I was stationed at Dyess AFB from 1987 to 1994 as a B-1 instructor. Went to Palmdale in 1988 to get one from the factory. Hard to believe that what was once a new airplane is 35+ years old, and the guys flying them in this video probably had not yet been born.

[@sunfish340]

Back around the mid-1980's, we took a few hours one afternoon & got as close as we could to Dyess to watch B-1's do touch & go's. Always loved watching them fly when we were working in Abilene a couple times a year - from 1984-1992 in another life I had!

[@paulcoinc]

Do you remember the tail number that you took delivery of?

[@permanentwaves4621]

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,.

[@timkis64]

i never realized how loud these were until i heard one take off after an airshow. they make passenger jets sound very quiet on take off by comparison.

[@N-e0N]

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.

How loud?? I was at TAFB OKC where the B1 would come for maintenance. General Motors had an assembly facility on the South End of the field, and when one took off under military power, every car alarm at the plant went off! I heard each engine was 4x the size of a F-15 engine.

[@Div3r]

No 2 engines reheat didn't light you can see briefly @ 4:31 as they start the takeoff roll that the No 2 nozzle remains closed. The engines are numbered left to right (port to starboard)

No.3 on my list of favourite planes. I got to see it at the Mildenhall airshow as a kid a in the nineties. No.2 is the Vulcan. Saw that at Mildenhall too. It took off and set all the car alarms off. I still get chills remembering it. No.1 is the SR-71. Saw that take off at Mildenhall and also saw it fly over my golf course once too.

You certainly need ear defenders with those afterburners, although I didn't when I was at Fairford airshow in the 90s, while standing right at the front of the crowd line. Wow that was an amazing B1-B experience I will never forget, felt the air pressure pushing into me as well!

As you know, that was the cold war era and Viet Nam when the Strategic Air Command was flying 24 by 7. There was a very frequent rumble of those Stratofortresses leaving and returning. I’m still in awe at what it took to keep those things in the air 24 by 7. It is a true testament to the flight crews and kids (only admiration intended) who kept them flying. A real marvel to behold. My father-in-law maintained the bomb-sites on them during Viet Nam. He died of a tare disease called Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) probably caused by agent orange. And yes that is a great little museum there at the base. I spent many days there. My dream was to be a Navy Pilot but my hearing wasn’t good enough. I ended up in the Navy aboard the USS John F Kennedy maintaining 3D radars and computer systems. I was so jealous of those pilots flying F14 Tomcats off of that ship.

What a beautiful aircraft!

[@Sylvester-wq4hy]

Damn I just love this B1 Lancer!!!

[@GarrettWorcester]

They are the most innocuous-looking badass planes I've ever seen (the key word being "seen," but not "heard").

[@DragerPilot]

An incredible supersonic beauty.

Aviation at its best. Beautiful aircraft. ❤

[@CobraEmergency]

Agreed!

[@RSTI191]

The Lancer is still the baddest cat on the block.

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.

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.

These Lancers look amazing.
