This was MY platform. 26+ years in the US Air Force. I spent 4 years dedicated to this absolutely gorgeous airframe. To this day, 20 years later I miss them very much. To start, the cockpit inside is designed like a fighter jet more than a 'heavy' because they have a control stick for this HIGHLY maneuverable platform rather than a standard heavy yoke control. These are so powerful that when they fly over you they actually change your heart rate and breathing pattern due to the sound (air compression + frequency). 35,000lbs of thrust per engine (x4). These are literally capable of Mach 2 + despite what they tell you. They actively outrun fighter intercept because on radar they expect a slower aircraft, yet once engaged they can hit the gas and just say goodbye. When they takeoff at night under full thrust you can see the afterburner flame literally bounce off the runway back up at a 45degree angle due to the extreme power they possess (think 5ft+ or 2m of flame). They have terrain hugging (vertical axis) auto pilot meaning they can hug the ground at low altitude and very high speed for surprise attack. Also terrain avoidance in the horizontal axis to stat at the same altitude but avoid obstacles and avoid radar pings at the same time. These can carry more ordinance than a B52 at supersonic speeds. And I can't tell you about the defensive/offensive capability but those aspects would truly impress you you will have to trust that one without the data.
Lies All lies
What did they do to fix the A/B no light so quickly?
Actually, quite factual, so what is the lie so be very specific on this one because I will probably know if you’re BS’ing.

I worked final assembly on all of these in Palmdale, CA. Most beautiful aircraft ever built.
Yes and the Concorde is up there too.
They are spectacularly beautiful aircraft. Whisper quiet too hehe. I used to jog in the morning next to the flight line, with muffs.
Thanks for building them Johnny. I watched Bob Ford fly all 51 out to Edwards. We would sit at Ave N and Sierra Hwy.
F-14 Tomcat enters the chat….
@@robe4314 I was gonna say the same thing.
Dear B1 Crew, Thank you for your service! Gread Job! magnificent machine!
These aircraft are based at Dyess (DY) in Abilene, Texas...my hometown. I was just a kid when the first "Bones" were delivered in 1985, and they've been a constant presence over our city ever since. I now live about 15 miles away from Dyess, but every B-1B takeoff still shakes my house. It's a comforting feeling. The Bones will eventually be phased out, and Dyess and Ellsworth will be home to the new B-21. But we'll miss the rumble of the venerable B-1B!
I remember the 1st one. It was on a Saturday, I was 14. Dyess had an open house that day, but we lived on the corner of Arnold BLVD and Texas Ave in that trailer park ( the back gate at the time). The news stations were set up on base expecting it to arrive at noon and it came in early, low and fast on purpose. Blew people's minds. I do believe thats the one that is on display at the front gate now.
@@permanentwaves4621 Yep, The Star of Abilene, the first one, is the one on display at the front gate. I was 10 at the time and I begged my grandparents to take me to Dyess that very Saturday, but they had already planned an out of town trip. I was bummed!
00:39 Hey there I am! 9 Hour round trip definitely worth it!
Rockwell achieved the supreme blend of elegance and sinister in the Bone....
Oh man; I worked on both of those airframes when I was in the USAF at Dyess. Amazing machine.
Question: the slots that the wings fit into when they sweep, why do the tops of those often lift open when the aircraft is on the ground?
@@FS2K4Pilot APU intake is in that area and they are only closed when they hit a certian speed
Very nice. Nothing quite like a B-1 taking off. I was at 09 and those ABs were loud!
Imagine what the XB-70 must’ve sounded like!
My old man, god rest him, used to sell garage equipment, so he was on the road a lot, like he'd do 50,000 mile a year. In the summer holidays I'd go with him sometimes when I was a kid. He'd been in the RAF so he was interested in aviation. I remember well driving past this base with him, I couldn't believe that you could see all these US aircraft in the British countryside. TBH I don't know if it was Fairford or not, I'm just guessing it was, it was down south somewhere anyway, and clearly visible from the road.
Right place right time Elwyn awesome close up and insane engine run up sound!
Such an amazing aircraft, and amazingly loud!
Them Abilene boys and girls. Love this bird.
The B1, F-14 Tomcat and the A-10 to me are the most beautiful aircrafts ever created!
The plural of aircraft is aircraft.
I'm with you on all three, but adding the T-38 for sheer beauty.💯
The B-1 will go down in history as one of the most beautiful "slide rule" airframes.
slide rule? Is that a fancy way of saying swing-wing?
@@bennoakes2477 refers to the pinched in fuselage shape. The " coke" bottle shape
@@bennoakes2477 probably meant the ar was designed by slide rule before advent of computers.
Designed at the dawn of CAD-CAM
Loudest aircraft I've ever heard! 3 B1's arrived in Darwin in 1990. They flew a couple of circuits, shadowed by RAAF Mirages. All 3 did a touch and go, and the noise on climb out was staggering. Loved it. One of them finished up nearly 2 months on the ground in Darwin due to major failures.
I'd love to get a few touch and goes 😉😬
Guess you never heard a Vulcan then?
@@stevenmoran4060 Saw a Vulcan at Edinburh RAAF base in 1962? it was an airshow and a bright white monster is all I recall. Unlike the B1's where I was along the runway, I was a fair way back all those years ago. Maybe that made a difference. I think the difference is the howling of the Vulcan vs the sheer crackle from the B1
The F'n LOUDEST! I thought the harrier was loud. 😂 These babies are crazy! Love it.
Is the Space Shuttle considered an aircraft? That sumbi*** is really loud!
My dad lived close to Nellis AFB and the 3AM sorties of B1s and F-16s and A-10s was truly impressive against a dark sky. Those birds burned up more fuel in those few minutes than I pay in taxes for a whole year, so I figure it was a pleasure to see my tax money at work. Those afterburners made it worth it! Of course, I looked silly standing in the street in my skivvies. :)
Fantastic footage. Thank you for putting in the hours (days!) to capture these beasts. Epic!
My pleasure! 😊
I can't watch enough of this beauty!
I bet that take-off sound never gets old for you photographer/vlog people!
I bet the vibrations shake you to the bones ;)
The first and last time I saw a B-1 Bomber over Germany was 1996-1997. Two B-1s flew over the City of Ulm.
I will not forget this sight. 🤗
Amazing how Chuck Yeagers voice carries on forever!
I’m very impressed by the number of plane spotters in the UK.
School holidays this week.
Wait till RIAT next month...
It's a huge thing here.
Great video work, thanks for your patience!
My pleasure!😊
See two in the 1990's that flew either side of a 700ft cooling tower and directly overhead of us.
Still feel the hairs on my neck go up, just thinking about it.
Amazing and still one of the best looking old aircraft around imo
Yep. I have seen them take off. Beautiful and loud
You haven't herd loud until you've heard an F-105 on take off roll. Now, THAT'S loud.
Brilliant, love the roar and the beauty of those beasts.
Such a beautiful, elegant aircraft, amazing to see them still flying after all these years
Stunning ✈️🇺🇸💪🏼
Did you actually watch it ? I'll be asking questions 😂
@@ElwynR 🤣 always do to pick up tips ✈️🎓
The loudest sound I've ever experienced in my life was a B1 taking off from Long Beach, CA municipal airport as I believe it was connected to a maintenance facility. I was coming home from work and it was starting to get dark but as I exited the freeway I noticed its silhouette. I pulled in to a parking lot next the runway and I was about 300 yards from it. It was so loud that as I recorded it, I was getting pain in my ears and I had to take the hand holding the phone and put it over my ear. Because it was dusk, you could see the afterburner cone shooting back another 50 yards or so and you could see its alight engines well into the evening sky.
You will always remember your first encounter with a B1 😬
Very cool!
The B1 is always a fan favorite!
I live ten minutes from a base where they are stationed. They are so loud and the sound never gets old. Beautiful aircraft!
Robin! Full thrust Bat Speed! Roger, Batman!
Nice video and sound quality, Great!
Thanks a lot!
Got to love the bone. One of my most fav aircraft of all time, F111 being the best 😎😎😎❤️❤️❤️
Fabulous video Elwyn👌 very good indeed.
Not only is this excellently shot and edited, you have given me not 1 but 2 appearances in it😝🤘👍 thank you sir, I am honored😁
ATB Andy
As always great footage of the new Dambuster Squadron ✌️🤔😱🤣😥😉💔💜🇬🇧🇬🇧
That's not LOUD........Thats the Applause OF FREEDOM!!
🤢
Thanks for filming and posting the footage.
Any time!😊
Years ago I was at an airshow. The B-1 did a flyby but mid-field turned away from the crowd and hit the afterburners. Along with my ears ringing, I heard a lot of car alarms going off in the parking lots from the incredible sound. Lol.
I was in final paint on all 100 B-1B ‘s, it was a great job 😊
Great job!👌
I was lucky to see F111 back in the day at fairford, engine sound was very loud, just amazing aircraft/
Excellent - more B1 delight ( and thunder). :)
Cheers Chris, that's it for the B-1 for now unless I get another chance to go down there
just had one of these fly over rushden northants probably around 10-15k feet the sounds was incredible
These are literally BONE shaking.
Yes they really are Melanie 😬
NICE!! The BONE is such a sexy beast! ♥Love that you have the radio traffic too. Great video!
Incredible footage. If I'd have known these were around I'd have brought the kids down to watch!
They should be around far a few weeks
Are they doing sorties every day?
Hadn't realised these planes are so big and long
Gross takeoff weight is 477,000 lbs!
Great footage!
If only Elwyn had been around "back in the day" when the gorgeous F14 Tomcat was still flying...
Great camera work, really impressive footage, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it😊
Now that's a real thunderbird!!!
Saw one up close at Oshkosh and it blew my mind how huge they were.
It always amazed me when we refueled them we measured it in hundred thousands of pounds of fuel.
She's amazing 👏 Beautiful video ❤
You are so kind
To me, the most beautiful airplane ever designed. The clipper ship of the air who's lines are organic and fluid. An analog to stealth's faceted digital.
The Bone
It's the best iconic aircraft flying at the moment 👌
4:32 The turkey feathers of the inboard port engine are pinched in while all the rest are wide open. It goes back to normal once he recycles power to them all.
Yes I noticed that on the video
He was doing a test/ troubleshooting on that engine some kind of high power run. he says in the audio " we are gonna run up one of our engines real quick" when he turns off the runway after the abort its normal.
Good eyes 👀
Those looked rather like duck feathers...
The B1B is by far my favourite aircraft
Amazing Anti-Gravity Tech they're low key showing off with that levitating pickup truck @ 00:56
Great footage once again of a rare aircraft in UK skies bet they would be awesome in the match loop!
*Starts drooling*
Absolutely ear shattering magnificence.
"Cleared for takeoff, Moscow's on the menu boys."
I was lucky to see one land at Nellis AFB once. The shape & size R incredible.
Thank you Elwyn
Awesome Video
0:58 That floating car rally got me :o
Sounds as stealthy as a teenager sneaking in late at night.
If it were possible for a plane to look evil...it would be this plane
They are loud. When you go to Ellsworth Air Force Base air show, they buzz the crowd with them when no one is ready and dam it is so loud...
Cool 👌
Thanks for bringing back memories. Both good and bad. I was USAF '78 - '82, TDY most of the time working on communications equipment and installations. Months of that time was spent at Edwards AFB where they were testing this thing.
While the memories are great in the number of unusual aircraft we saw, this particular plane is the one I truly hate.
It cost me my hearing for the most part.
You see, my job in the AF was to install and test out commo equipment, cables etc. we worked outside mostly. At Edwards there was a manhole that was a central point to feed out to the rest of the base. This thing was more or less aligned with the end of the runway and about 500' from the end of it. This was at the time period where the B1 was coming online.
Here's the rub:. because of our job we were never issued ear protection. We couldn't really use it anyway due to the work.
So, when this thing took off it came over us at about 300 to 600 feet, always chased by 2 F-111's. There is no way on Gods Green Earth to describe just how loud that was!!
The noise was not even external! It was...just... everywhere. It would vibrate your bones, make your eyeballs feel like that were popping out at times. It came as a vibration from your spine to your brain and was overwhelming.
We hated seeing the thing coming out of the mirage laying on the runway, you could always tell it was coming from the noise a mile away or more.
It's a fine airplane, I'm sure, I just personally have a grudge against it.
And, yeah, I'm mostly deaf. It stinks!
That's a great shame, health and safety wasn't heard of back then 😕
Blistering engine roar
Love it
"Anyone fancy a ice 🧊 cold BEER"
Thank you!!
Magnificent takeoff on these B-1B Lancer!!! Especially the Afterburners 😊😎
Mega video and sound 😍👏👍👍
Liked and subbed!
Thank you very much! ☺️
I love the way the wheels tuck away. Enginering masterpiece. Did atc tell the pilot to remain discrete?
Yes, I'm guessing it means don't broadcast technical details of the issue over the radio?
Hey mate, how do you find out the schedules for such amazing aircraft? I'm 45 min from Fairford and 25 from Brize Norton. Would love to see/hear such an aircraft
Schedule? You just have to put in the time and hang about and hope for the best.
@@cjshardcorepunkmusicvault8474 saw the last two depart.
That is a beautiful plane.
Beast!
good video Capture!
Thank you very much!
Great video,How do you get to know that these aircraft will be at these afb’s 👍👍
Great video !!!
Glad you enjoyed it😊
Nice one Elwyn ❤
Cheers Peter 😊
The US always keeps the best stuff to themselves. Imagine a few of these in the RAF
They had the Vulcan
@@ElwynR Another beautiful aircraft
Good upload!
Thanks 👌
There is a greasy spoon in Abilene where you can a have breakfast with a side of afterburner.
Cool 😊
I’d love to see one of those going through the Mach Loop.
Takeoff is optional, Landing is Mandatory!!
*EXCELLENT*
One of my favourite aircraft. Good cop too, as always buddy✌️👍😊💜 I wonder why he aborted🤔 Jet wash🤔🤔 They wake me up some mornings as I'm about 8 miles away as the crow flies 🙄😲😄😇
Non pilot here- do the B-1's always use reheat/afterburn when taking off? Just curious. Great video BTW!
Yes
It's standard for planes with afterburner to use it for takeoff.
It gets them up to speed and off the ground quicker.
@@michaelpcoffee No, it is not standard to just use afterburner in every aircraft with one. Some use it due to operational need, some use it due to runway length/weight, some use it simply to show off to the crowd. But its NOT just standard.
@@danielh1708
Every plane with afterburner I have ever seen always used it to take off.
You say they were exceptional.
Remarkable that exceptional can be so routine.
Now; I need to find a video of an afterburner equipped plane taking off without it.
@@danielh1708
Somebody posing as you just posted the exact opposite answer.
Right On
saw one go over my house from brize norton earlier about 8 40 pm at about 7,500 ft wasn’t able to take a photo
A bird of prey✈️👍
@Elwyn, Did you or anyone else take videos of today's (6/5) take off and landings?
Great video. Loved the radio chatter.
I didn't but my mate Dafydd Phillips is there
It would be great if it’s posted. I know more than a few people who would love to see the 2nd plane in the June 5th flight. Thanks. Looking forward to seeing more videos of those beautiful planes in action.
I want one of those hover trucks at 1:00. 😂😂😂
Checking EGT and EPR on Engine No 2 post the abort?
So when is the next moment at fairford ??
I've been 5 times now and still waiting see ?? If anyone knows
This morning 6.15 am and should be back later today, you have to put the time in! I was there for four days
If there's a louder plane flying right now, I'd like to know what it is.
I was at a NASCAR race a few years ago, and they flew one over the track very low & with AB's on. I almost had internal organ damage after that. It was far, FAR louder than the cars (collectively)...
Any Top Fuel dragster race in the US is much louder than that, although it lasts only a few seconds (luckily) 😉
@@altair7001 Oh - I completely agree. I've been to a few of those races, and that is beyond reason.
Had a friend of mine that was filming one for ESPN back years ago. He wanted to get between 2 of them when they took off. He had plugs and sound-canceling headphones on. When they took off, the sheer power of the concussion when they left literally made him sick. He had to throw up and was ill the rest of the day.
Luckily they are loud, nothing more annoying than the click click click of cameras in a video. Beautiful sleek aircraft
One down vote. WTF could possibly inspire a down vote on a vid like this. Must be just stop oil, or some plebish goon.
