This Youtube popped up in my feed. Seems to be from an airshow back in 1991 in England. Most of the video is the typical airshow stuff but if you fast forward to about the 7 min mark you'll get to see the B-1 doing something I don't think I've ever seen it do. A 360 roll on climbout following a high speed pass. Ending up inverted still. Guess that would make it more like a 540 degree roll.

What's that music at the 2:30 mark when the bone is rolling into position? Is that from Alien/Aliens? I know that soundtrack but cannot place it.

I love their high speed fly by at Mach 0.99 or whatever. Nothing like seeing something that big going that fast.
The noise of them taking off is also awesomeness. 4 yuge afterburning motors. Deafening roar and car alarms going off. |

Couple videos I took a few years ago.
 Oshkosh 17 B-1B pass  Oshkosh 17 B-1B pass I didn't get any video of it. But they did a full afterburner spiral into the clouds at about 10 at night while flying out to avoid the incoming weather. It was loud! And Effing awesome! |

I retired from the Air Force while stationed at Robins AFB. At that time the Guard unit there flew the Bone. The best time to watch it fly was a night. When they would take off on night sorties, many times a 2 ship, they would continue on runway heading for a long time. Not sure what their procedures are but they would keep the burners lit for several minutes after takeoff. You could watch those flames forever as it climbed higher and further away.
The all time best to watch at night was the Blackbird(SR-71). Especially on a cloudless night sky. |

I grew up in Wichita right over by McConnell AFB. When they got the B1s they would rattle your teeth on takeoff. B1s, F4s, F16s. T38s, KC135s. Normal everyday stuff.
Now that I'm in Florida I miss it. |

In the late 1990's I saw it at the Thunder over Niagara show in Niagara Fall, NY. At the end of the local GOP Congressman's intro speech remarks he said: "Welcome to Thunder over Niagara" and a B2 blew buy in excess of .95 from the ENE, right down Runway 27, and pulled up and climbed out of sight in full burner doing three slow rolls as he did. I was flying in the show that year and had dinner the night before with the Blue Angles and other performers, including the crew from the B1, they made no mention of their planned high speed pass the night before.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Hope he had a tanker ready near by...wow that was a lot of gas! Depending on their fuel load at take off! In full afterburner, they were burning close to 5,000 lbs per minute. Thats a bad ass plane for sure. A couple years ago, we saw one fly over at probably 500' AGL while we were playing in the desert south of China lake, about 5 minutes later, about 15 seconds of deep rumbling and muffled booms. Figured they dropped a load at the China Lake weapons area. |
