The B-1, like the Spitfire, is one of those exquisitely rare aircraft that has an exceptional aesthetic coupled with its lethality. It looks like it is flying even when idle on the runway, and seeing it in flight will leave a lifetime impression.

As big as a B52 with greater bomb load and looks like a fighter plane. Much stealthier than most fighters, swing wing just awesome. I saw one try to go vertical over Jones Beach on Long Island. It was like watching the launch of a Saturn V overhead. I swear every grain of sand on the beach was bouncing up and down. Yes I would say very memorable!

Well said. The Spitfire is the most elegant airplane ever to take to the skies. The Packard Merlin V-12 completes the package....exquisite is the word. Watch the Spit’s on youtube sometime....airplane porn.
