I admire your self restraint for not using a music to fill up the silence. most people would've spoiled the vibe by doing that.
Agreeed!!!
Exactly!
I hope you're not talking about Danger Zone!
Truth
I do not admire your lack of self restraint to not make a comment unnecessarly bold to stand out.
The words "AIR FORCE GLOBAL STRIKE COMMAND" under the insignia, incite goosebumps.
Im glad these are "STRIKE" commanders and not ready 5 interceptors.
Once upon a time it was known as the "Strategic Air Command". SAC to those of us from back in the day
When a Bone goes by, you don't hear it with your ears, you feel it with your diaphragm. Man, is it loud!
I've had the pleasure of entering a B-1 at my first air show and man was it worth the 2 hour wait.
i waited 5 hrs to enter SR-71
I remember getting CAS from one of these in Afghanistan back in 2010, with a full female crew on board. Was literally mindblowing when they first did a low fly-by in our valley on what felt like full throttle!
To all B1 crews; thank you for your service! All boots on the ground greatly appreciates the moral boost you give!
Badass!
I bet they were in sync
Why should it matter the gender of the crew?
@@kaamos79 Kind of a weird question considering it was merely a fact that was stated with no insinuation of it mattering more or less than a male crew.
@@materialdialectics I think that the very fact that it was mentioned at all is a pretty strong implication that it's somehow more special or important or powerful in some way than any other possible crew configuration.
You know the designers had some bad-ass flying in mind when they opted for a stick rather than yoke.
its a high speed bomber
No bone yokes?
Peter H steering wheel. A yoke is a steering wheel basicaly
@@theboyscout0156 walk softly and carry a big yoke
Airbus have a stick too
I used to work for a B1 defense subcontractor and clearly remember that plain grey look of the LRU’s. What an incredible piece of hardware. On my way to Florida in the early 90’s I stopped at the museum at Warner Robbins.
I just love how plain beautiful this plane is. So many switches. So many dials.
I was stationed at Warner-Robbins AFB in Georgia back in 96-98, lived fairly close to the base and heard these BONEs flying over the house at times. Fantastic A/C and excellent video!
I live in Abilene, TX-home to Dyess AFB and the B-1 B Lancer. I've never gotten tired of seeing and hearing it. It's LOUD and proud! I'm still in awe after all these years.
When I lived on Dyess in the early 60’s they still had B-47 bombers and the B-52’s !!!
I grew up living in Dyess base housing as a kid. We moved there as my dad got assigned to fly the B1. Our backyard faced the runway and I remember watching my dad take off in the b-1 and fly the pattern. He would dip the wings back and forth when he would fly over the house as he knew I would be watching outside. I think there’s a picture of me sitting in a lawn chair at 7 years old watching him as I ate goldfish crackers, 😂. Hearing the sound again stirs up a lot of childhood memories. Those engines just sound like they’re ripping sheets when they go full afterburner. My mom would get annoyed when a dish would fall out of a cabinet and break because these would literally shake the entire house.
You get tired of seeing all planes when you work on them
Worked B1 flightline avionics three years up till 91. Can still remember the patterns / settings required to test / troubleshoot systems (DAS). Worked long hours and shift work, would often be tired and running on lots of coffee and cigarettes, but had to focus; so you could pretty much do many somewhat complex system checkout processes almost automatically. Good job, built some good mental toughness due to lots of complex responsibility while usually running on very little sleep.
I was Com/Nav/Das also same time frame, Volunteered for the B1 program right out of Tech-school
Always loved seeing the Bone flying overhead our outpost on patrol in Afghanistan, gotta be one of my fav airplanes ever
One of the sexiest aircraft ever designed. The lines on this thing are just perfection.
@@lizardfirefighter110 No shit Sherlock. Doesn't mean as a physicist that I can't appreciate the skill that went into designing and crafting it. Grow up you moron. It is possible to enjoy the beauty and craftsmanship while not condoning the use. What a narrow, sad, scared little world you must live in.
The B-1B Lancer, aka “The Bone,” is a beauty! Sure glad it’s on our side!
Thanks for not loading background music .... keep it up
B1 is the most beautiful bomber ever designed. The smooth body just looks like a black swan except it can really get angry.
Close. But I think the B-58 Hustler was and is the best looking bomber ever. It was capable of faster speeds than the B1 as well.
@@badgumby9544 the thing is ugly withe the really long engines
B1 is such a sexy aircraft
TRUUUUUUUUUUUEEEE
I was just thinking that! The B1 has some nice curves…
Airplanes are not sexy. They're machines that require a lot of work to keep flying. Beautiful young women are sexy, nothing else.
Yes they are slender and sleek body!
Cutmesomeslack ok yeah but the C-17 is the boss
Saw one of these up close at the SD Air & Space museum outside of Ellsworth.
And by up close, I stood under it. Beautiful aircraft.
Nothing but huge admiration for these special people. Thank you for all you do.
Visually, it is a beautiful air plane with great curves.
Love the old-school green & black computer screens.
I'm happy to say i've seen this thing do a high speed low level pass at fairford airshow, the most impressive plane i've ever seen...
Driving down 1-20 heading to Lubbock, it was always a rare pleasure to see one of these flying.
I was driving west on I-20 once and two of those bad boys took off right in front of me...FULL AFTERBURNER...caught me totally by surprise...about had a frikin heart attack.😂😂😂
Truly the most gorgeous aircraft ever made.
sounds fucking badass too
F-14.
Disagrees in SR-71*
luc lachapelle I liked the comment. And you’re not wrong, because the Blackbird such a gorgeous aircraft too. The SR-71 is like a beautiful, intelligent Bond villain girl, like Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatop. Whereas the B1 is like Marylyn Monroe or Kate Upton. Really hard to choose between. I like the curves on the B1 better, but you aren’t wrong!
The sniper pod with JDAM gave the bone a new lease. Turned out it was perfect for rapid response close air support. They’re planning to give it a retractable belly turret!
Saw it at OshKosh full afterburner trying to get away from a huge thunderstorm. Best experience I’ve ever had with aviation.
Thank you for providing this clip of cockpit. Never got a chance to be in a B-1 during my T.I.S. Semper Fi
4:30
I use the same moves in the club!
That's Leo disco style after getting his hands smashed by Costello
TOTALLY not A COP that actually made me laugh this is one of those comments that should have about like 500 likes,
Instead if you said “straight savage plane” thAt probably would’ve got you more
looks like a helluva time seeing over the cockpit dash
It's not a problem Nick. Visibility is excellent out the front and 99% of the time not low level we were looking out the front/sides clearing for traffic just like every other aircraft. The seats are lowered full down and full aft when a crewmember leaves the seat. This is done just because it's easier to get out of and into. The video looks like the front seats are in the full down & aft position. Before taxi, the crew members will adjust their seats to suit their individual requirements.
When my stepdad flew the b-one out at dyess I went out there with him on multiple occasions and got to meet and hang around with all these pilots. Which was amazing for me at the time as it was my dream to be a pilot.
Beautiful, looking at the B-1 never gets old
This aircraft is beautiful, it reminds me of the E type Jaguar or the Aston Martin DB9, curvy and beautiful.
Really the best word to describe this aircraft is simply, “badass.”
What a badass video! The B-1 is a plane for studs. A cold, beautiful whoop ass bird....Thanks for this video!
The sound of freedom!
#NEVERFORGET.
Amazing aircraft - seen these at Fairford a few times but had no idea what the inside looked like. Great video, thanks!
Excellent. So much detail in the cockpit.
Love those green screen CRT screens. I love phosphor!
A most amazing aircraft. Love having the Bone fly over to the uk on various missions. Long may it continue.
Watching the b1 do a flyby with its wings swept back gives me a semi! 🤣
probably the coolest plane to be a team in.
Tu-160 too
Don't forget the B-2 spirit bomber 😈😈
Nope, B-52
F111
An amazing, beautiful aircraft, but very challenging in regards to maintenance. There have been times recently when the USAF has had less then 10 B-1's out of the current inventory of 62 flight ready at any one time
When I was stationed at Aviano as a Marine, there were times when the Airforce didn't have a single aircraft flight ready. Marine Air had their backs (and their sorties).
@@datsuntoyy Ahh, inter-service rivalry. You gotta love it . . .
Man....one of the best clips i've ever seen here...astonishing and perfect!!!
Outstanding ! thanks for sharing
I'm kind of surprised the cockpit video isn't considered a breach of security.... but I enjoyed it.
I can't imagine the workload in such complex missions, complex aircrafts, old fashion cockpit with lots of switches etc... , speed of the mission etc... these guys must swallow a lot of stuff to make it happen there... dedication is the name ?
Fantastic plane and vid! Thanks for sharing, and greets from the Netherlands!
Used to build those. A most impressive machine that has stood the test of time.
Surprised to see vertical scale instruments after all this time--believe they were first used on F-105 and F-106 aircraft around 1960. Twenty years ago I got a close look at a B-1B in flight as I drove a 172 from PUB to FTG returning from my first solo cross country. Monitoring COS approach frequency, I heard Jayhawk 1 request permission for low pass over AF Academy, which was denied, and then a low pass over runway. After he flew south over the runway, approach informed me that I had traffic, a B-1B Heavy, approaching me from six o'clock and intending to climb through my altitude after passing. All I could do was acknowledge, and watch as this magnificent aircraft came up in front of me and then rolled off to the east. Quite a sight.
+Hopelessand Forlorn Very cool comment, thanks.
Did you experience any significantly abnormal flight conditions from the wake turbulence??
No, the B1B was turning to the east as it came through my altitude, so I did not encounter its wake.
Jayhawk 1 would have been the call sign of the wing commander at McConnel AFB in Wichita. The Kansas Air Guard flew the Bone for a period of time as did the Georgia Air Guard.
did you put full power on that C172 and chase him down? :)
was a crew chief on 86-0134 McConnel AFB 88-92 Loved the plane !!
I visited Mconell as a kid and sat in a B-1 cocpit.
A friend of mine was working for Boeing when they first delivered B1s in the 80's. He gave me a tour one day. Aside from the joystick control the other thing that stuck in my mind were the windshield defroster tubes. On that particular aircraft they were made up of copper tubing that had been pinched down on the ends with pliers.
one of the most beautiful airplanes ever
My old man was a back seater in some of the last E model f-4's. The pilots with enough time were given the option of cross training into wide bodies, tankers or bombers. Long short a bone stopped by a local airshow and the pilot was a former F-4 driver my old man knew. We got a personal tour of the plane inside and out.
Dave Clark headsets for cockpit checks...helmets for flight. First class!
If you are ever in the Denver area, the museum of the Rockies has a B-1A to see, it is massive and worth seeing...thanks
May God bless these guys! Fantastic footage, too. Thanks for putting this on!
Very interesting to see the B-1’s interior. 👍 In person, I have seen the B-1’s interior at an air show at Travis Air Force Base, CA.
I have also seen the interior of a Vulcan bomber at the Castle Air Museum, CA. and the B-52D’s interior at the Travis Air Force Base Museum, CA.
love the B1...wish they still called it strategic air command.
Legend says when the time has come, B-1 crews will fly their planes to the bone yard for the final time and will be riding home on a B-52.
It's a running joke but it's not far off.
before that, they gotta kick some butts first, CCP's ass, copycat J-x by intellectual theft.
Cool video. Always fascinating to watch a plane get started, especially something big and complex like the Bone. ALso, thanks for explaining where that name came from. I'm embarrassed to admit I did not know that! :-)
Great quality video - holy cow. Good stuff.
these are cool birds. used to see them flying around almost daily in the 1980s. I lived a few blocks from plant 42 in palmdale. only thing better was the sr.
Love the B-1 "Bone", probably the best aircraft for Afghanistan ....long ranged, Big payloads and always seemed to be overhead ! ... Semper Fi
Prog X ghost67 abracab, pin pointing a chart. 142 lat 56 long let her rip L7 = square d = destroy. I'm coming. Ah how I miss blowing shit up. 3 d recon special OPPS.
My sister was stationed at Dyess whilst I was at what used to be SAC HQ, Offutt AFB. The patch I treasure most was from SAC! Old commands are long gone in this new Air Force. Still, the best branch of the military! Go Blue!
nicely done video
To have made it to this point in their careers is a huge accomplishment! I salute them all both those flying in the air and the support crews on the ground! Wow just great stuff! not exactly your "9 to 5" office cubicle job...not that there's anything wrong with an office job! 😎
What makes these videos particularly exciting are the comments from the primary sources who have experienced the reality of working around these astounding machines.
I know this is off topic, but I wish the F-111 was still around. Such an awesome airplane!!
+ryan moeller
Funny you should mention the F-111 and EF-111. They (along w/the B-1) shared one thing in common...the cockpit supposedly doubles as an escape pod should they have to eject.
StangdrivaFiveO I don't know if the full cockpit on the B-1 ejects. I know the F-11 and EF-111 cockpits was an escape pod. I love how low and fast they could fly! Then how they'd "toss" the bombs to the targets. So awesome.
+ryan moeller B-1 uses individual ejection seats, ACES II
+Chad B Australia actually retired the F-111 in 2010. 😁
+Chad B Greetings from Oklahoma!
i love the look of this aircraft, very nice design, aesthetically.
If it looks good it’ll fly good.
That was ♤ fascinating!
Thanks for the Video¡ ♡
It's got a cockpit sound engineers will fall in love with
Thank you for your service! Go Air Force!!
My God! If this footage is NOT classified, imagine what kind of tech actually IS classified!
The B-1 and the F-16 are to this day still the sexiest, sleekest fighter aircraft out there....
It sure isn't a civilian aircraft......
+Willem Otto yeah, but it's a bomber
Good grief! "Military Aircraft" then..... Sheesh! I consider myself properly scolded by all the semantics experts for my poor choice ow language.....
+Jacob Zondag
AMEN BROTHA!!! The McDonnell Douglas is THE BEST FIGHTER ever built, handsdown.
***** Nope. I meant the F-16. It's just always been my favourite modern fighter. Clean, sleek lines and excellent performance for it's time.
but does it have cup holders
It has beer holders
How about a in flight movie. 😜😜😜
@@billhuber2964 I recommend Dr. Strangelove.
What about furry dice?
I guarantee it has ashtrays and no cup-holders
5:21 "This is Maverick requesting a flyby" "Uh, this is a porta potty, not the tower"
Love from UK that thing is one beast!
Rare privilege to see what it takes to get one of these amazing planes into the air. So much respect and admiration for the crews on the ground and in the cockpit. Thank you for this...
I have been in the cockpit and electronics bay when I was a painter on the B1-B program at Rockwell International back in the 80’s !!!
So many buttons oml that's a serious ass job on top of the missions
I was in rapid city SD , met this young buck , “ BONE “ pilot . I say , I’ve seen y’all barrel roll a B 1 . His reply was a big smile . 😎🇺🇸⚓️ GO USAF
Excellent no nonsense quick vid.
Wow - the number of switches/buttons !!
The B1 Lancer.. One of my favorites.
The Deadly Lancer--BoNe. Great video
Wonderful,i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations for yours videos guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Walked around at Edwards AFB years ago.
Thing is HUGE
very, very awesome!
If someone could turn a B-1 into a private jet, that would be an awesome way to travel.
I was thinking that. It would be the most expensive private jet ever.
Most unreliable private jet ever lol
Great video, I have liked!!
That external hardrive at 2:10. When I bought mine years and years ago it had a label on the box that it was tested to the shock resistance standards of US armed forces. Back then I thought that it was just a silly marketing gimmick, turns out that at least some one is using it in the Air Force :D
I'm french and I think the B1 is the sexyest american plane ! (after the mighty Blackbird, of course...)
I like you french person!
Such a figure!! LOL!
They should have just put a Bombay in place of the camera bay and used the sr71 as a bomber. Dropping bombs at 3000knots!
ryan olson cool, but not practical
ak 501 I might be the sexiest American Plane, just my opinion
On my long cross-country flight for my Private Pilot license I landed at Dyess, it is/was a joint-use civilian/military airport. Back then (81-83?) the B-1 was new. Pretty awesome sight from a Piper Tomahawk with B-1s in the air and on the ramp.
The first B-1 arrived at DYS in '85.
You were in a "Tramahawk?" Some balls, I'd say. :-)
the dude checking out himself in the mirror and smiling .... priceless
Such a mean looking machine for how old it is
1:13 - "gentlemen, I'm an O-4 and it's louder than hell and you can't understand a word I'm a sayin'. You guys got that?" Crew: nods yes.
Looks like a HOT crew swap. Thanks.
That engine ambience in the cockpit 👌
Evil looking machine :) Glad I'll never be on the wrong end of it.
David Lowery never say never...
That was amazing.
great plane great design and functional system
