That plane is 40 yrs old and still looks futuristic and bad ass, I live by an air base where they take off regularly, the roar of the engines as it climbing is insane.
I live near Frankfurt Airport, Germany. When I was a child, a B1 could not sweep its wings into low speed configuration before landing at an US airbase somewhere in Germany due to a technical defect. So it had to land with a much higher speed than normal and was therefore redirected to Frankfurt airport because of the longer runway. Prior to landing it had to circle at quite low altitude at the area where I live and everybody was looking at that strange, enormously large Aircraft. Was quite impressive… Next day in school a classmate told everybody: Hey, yesterday I’ve seen a Concorde approaching Frankfurt Airport…
B-1's fly over our house from Nellis Air Force Base In Las Vegas. I can hear the roar from the east as they head our way. I ALWAYS run out the door to see them. Totally awesome at night with the afterburners. I usually see a single one. At the beginning of the year there were 3 of them together. That was a real treat.
I love reading all the stories from people who live near Nellis. They're regular visitors there which is SO cool! One of the best photos is actually of one at night with the afterburners fully lit as it rises up above the Vegas Strip.
From Deb…My Dad was assigned to Fairford in the early 60s-as a navigator. Our officers quarters overlooked the flight line. When the klaxons went off, my brother and I would “scramble” up to my bedroom window for the clear and exciting view of the crews scrambling/racing for the B-52s. We’d watch goggle-eyed as each BUFF would taxi out, with that multiplied scream of engines and bomber after bomber lifting off trailing their smoke plumes. Best childhood ever!! But I’ve never understood why they call a B-52 a BUFF. Yes, she’s Big, but Ugly…no way! She’s an elegant, gorgeous and sinister-looking picture of American hurt coming somebody’s way.
My first job out of the USAF was an aircraft electrician on the B-2 assembly line in Palmdale, CA. 36 years later I'm glad to see they are still delivering the good news.
I was stationed at R.A.F. Alconbury 79-82. Our mission was R4FC & the F-5 aggressor squadron. Shortly after I left the mission switched to the TR-1. It would have been pretty sweet to see the TR-1. Alconbury is no longer an airfield. Fond memories of being there.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. I was serving in the RAF and stationed at R.A.F Wyton Huntingdonshire our runway was occasionally used by USAF on approach into Alconbury, I think we both had runways on the same headings and your guys called in for a coffee? As you say fond memories.

My dad was a B-17 pilot in WW II and was shot down over Germany on July 26, 1943 and spent the rest of the war as a POW. After the war, he flew B-29's, B-47's, and B-52's during the Cold War. He died on active duty unexpectantly in 1971 at the age of 51. I'm sure he is looking down from heaven marveling that the B-52 is still in the fight and likely will be after 100 years of service. The B-1 was supposed to replace the B-52 and failed. The B-2 was supposed to replace the B-52 and the B-1 and failed. The B-21 Raider is supposed to replace the B-2, B-52, and B-1. It might replace the B-2 because of costs. It might replace the B-1. But I doubt it will replace the B-52 anytime in the next couple of decades. I'm not even sure that it will replace the B-1 anytime soon. The Air Force is beginning to realize that the 4th gen aircraft are becoming ever more capable with the new weapons being developed. The B-52 and B-1 are essentially stand off long range missile trucks in a near peer war which will be invaluable because they can carry far more than the B-2 or B-21. We'll see what happens.
My Father flew B-17s in WWII as well, flew over Germany mostly. He was part of the Triangle P squadron. After his 25 missions he opted out. They offered him to fly in the Pacific to help in that theater but by that he had seen and done enough. He retired Captain USAF and is buried in Punch Bowl on Oahu Hawaii just above Pearl. My siblings and I grew up in Hawaii and never made it to the Air Force - However I am MSFT Teams Consultant for the USAF and live near the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs Colorado.
30+ years ago I'm being a tourist in a car, South Arizona where because of low humidity the Air Force stores > mothballs its inactive planes. was time of Desert Storm, if Saddam had seen: he would of had 2nd thoughts. They were destroying B-52s w Russian observers verifying and filming; according to terms of SALT treaty, strategic arms limitations. which the Russians later withdrew from, after cheating. Anyone who trusts Ivan (Russia) is a lousy student of History, has short term memory. or Naive belief my Slavic brother, who I share the same Orthodox religion w, would never harm me.
Two days ago I noticed a small military passenger plane on Flight Radar direct from Washington to the main US airbase in Germany. Clearly high level people making the journey. I wondered if this is a common occurrence or something special.
i am convinced a conventional war is brewing again, only its going to have unconventional consequences, being I am still draft age ( 26 ) I am terrified.
It might start conveniently....for about 5 minutes...if it's Russia you're talking about, they pussies they stand zero chance against NATO, all they have is nukes, the last resort of the weak and scared. FFS, they can't even take Ukraine out, with the very limited arms we are providing, they don't stand much chance against a full blown NATO assault 😂
Well, right now: working OT @ the Pentagon you wouldn't give half a dead rat'$ ass what a plane looked likes. where oh wear can I get me some more ugly A-10s for some urban warfare
It’ll be a sad day when the last of the Bones is retired. B-21 Raiders coming to replace these amazingly gorgeous aircraft. I really thought the USAF were going to convert the B-1B fleet into B-1X missile trucks. B-52s are the heavy cruise missile platforms. While the B-1X concept was to have them loaded with massive amount of long-range air-to-air missiles. Guided by AWACS & F-35s. I’m still holding hope. 😢
The missile truck thing actually plays really well into the F-35's capabilities, so I wouldn't be shocked if that's the route they took for the ol bone
Something's about to happen and most people are sadly fast asleep! May the Lord's mercy endure and His grace carry us through. I love planes and it's awesome to see them take off and land - here obviously just landing. What a sight, never gets boring.
I have always wondered why the USSR didn't copy the U-2. After shooting down Francis Gary Powers, they had all the technology to reverse engineer a copy but for some reason they didn't. The U-2 has been flying operational missions since 1956 (67 years in service) collecting invaluable electronic and photographic intelligence. My guess is that like the B-52, the U-2 will likely be flying for 100 years in service.
The Russians didn’t copy the U-2 because the technology was already in the process of being surpassed with their own version of a spy satellite which they were in the middle of completing. The Russians knew that the only way to beat the U-2 was to have a satellite that could do what the U-2 could do, but do it 24/7/365. I think it would surprise the world to know that the Russians are as technologically advanced as the U.S. is; however, Russia’s problem is simply that it is under-funded. The Communism system doesn’t allow for the type of financial growth and support that the capitalist system does.
So enjoyed the U2 arrival. Back in the mid'90's my ex-Brother-in-law was USAF and stationed at Beale AFB (known as 'Recce Town' vs. 'Fighter Town at Mirromar AFB). Visiting from the U.K, he managed to get my Wife & I an escorted visit to the Flight Line, signed off by the Base Commander. As a civvie, this was amazing. In the 2 hours we were there we saw 2 landings - loved the chase cars, only driven by U2 pilots, to call the landing distance - as a well as training flight where the Instructor and and his student walked out in basically space suits! When I asked the Instructor questions like. 'How high?'. 'How fast?', and 'Length of Op?', I was greeted with a smile and a courteous, 'That's classified, Sir'. Feel very privileged to have these seen amazing aircraft and crew up close and personal.

A marvellous and great footage of the arrival of the B-1B Lancer and tge U-2S Dragon Lady 😎✨👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks again Douglas!
What an amazing aircraft
The Bone gets it done and that’s all I have to say!
It will into the 2040s with the BEAST upgrade
Quite impressive displays of hardware, are they going to stare at it all day afterwards?
Is that an extra fuel tank for the U2? I presume it came across the pond.
She is the most beautiful aircraft ever in my eyes.
The Lamborghini of Bombers
Is this old footage? Didn’t hear anything about it on the news.
1:25 Crow strutting around his patch of normally deserted runway turns around to see the B1’s screaming in and mutters WTF!
The USA military is like a big clumsy kid breaking things wherever they go ...
How come that 3rd plane had police cars behind it not the others.why did the wing go to the ground.
The Bone!!
Something's about to happen and most people are sadly fast asleep! May the Lord's mercy endure and His grace carry us through. I love planes and it's awesome to see them take off and land - here obviously just landing. What a sight, never gets boring.
Your comment is the only one refering to 'something is,about to happen' everyone else in nostalgia mode..🙄 we are in serious trouble if these are up.
THANK YOU TEAMCIA 🤝🏼
Where's the 'front line'?
Seeing that U2 brings a thought to mind.......bring back the SR
1 bone you don't want on your door step
I thought there was a U2 coming when I saw those wheels on the back of that truck.
Lancers are def my favorite world ending bombers
They do not and can not carry nuclear weapons as per treaty. They can not end the world.
Could these planes be a prelude to an attack on Hamas in the middle East?
Firefox comes to mind is Clint at the wheel
Incredible they have to put on the extra two wheels for supporting the wings after the U2 has landed
Yeah, it's to allow it to taxi. Prior to take off, they actually remove the wheels on the runway.
🇺🇸 keep up the good work 🇬🇧
I have always wondered why the USSR didn't copy the U-2. After shooting down Francis Gary Powers, they had all the technology to reverse engineer a copy but for some reason they didn't.
The U-2 has been flying operational missions since 1956 (67 years in service) collecting invaluable electronic and photographic intelligence. My guess is that like the B-52, the U-2 will likely be flying for 100 years in service.
Russia doesn't need fucking spying on the whole world. Feel the difference if you are capable of it.
The Russians didn’t copy the U-2 because the technology was already in the process of being surpassed with their own version of a spy satellite which they were in the middle of completing. The Russians knew that the only way to beat the U-2 was to have a satellite that could do what the U-2 could do, but do it 24/7/365. I think it would surprise the world to know that the Russians are as technologically advanced as the U.S. is; however, Russia’s problem is simply that it is under-funded. The Communism system doesn’t allow for the type of financial growth and support that the capitalist system does.
Do you honestly think that the human race will be around in 100 years???
@@dr.OgataSerizawa Of course it will.

It’s a nice thought…..based on hope. So, keep dreaming and hoping and praying.
American beast mode🇺🇲✌️
Glory to NATO👍 Glory to Ukraine👍🇺🇦🙏❤️🇫🇮🇺🇦
💩💩💩💩💩forget about it
So enjoyed the U2 arrival. Back in the mid'90's my ex-Brother-in-law was USAF and stationed at Beale AFB (known as 'Recce Town' vs. 'Fighter Town at Mirromar AFB). Visiting from the U.K, he managed to get my Wife & I an escorted visit to the Flight Line, signed off by the Base Commander. As a civvie, this was amazing. In the 2 hours we were there we saw 2 landings - loved the chase cars, only driven by U2 pilots, to call the landing distance - as a well as training flight where the Instructor and and his student walked out in basically space suits! When I asked the Instructor questions like. 'How high?'. 'How fast?', and 'Length of Op?', I was greeted with a smile and a courteous, 'That's classified, Sir'. Feel very privileged to have these seen amazing aircraft and crew up close and personal.
Ah so it is a U2! must admit even by video I have never seen one flying, let alone landing
Are to more coming tomorrow so excited for this
The terror of Rusia this airplane is amazing
For all of our faults, we still make a hell of an aircraft…😊
