B-1 is gorgeous. I have always wished to see a Blue Angel or Thunderbird type air show of ALL B-1 BOMBERS in tight formation simply for the massive thundering sound it would make. A single B1 flyby on full afterburner is an amazing feeling. Imagine a diamond formation of them. :)
Oh yeah, I know it’ll never happen. But I’m one of those guys at air shows that wants it louder. At a fireworks display I want it BIGGER!
Though interestingly enough, at a concert I usually wish they’d turn it down. :)
I said that from watching several flybys at the Reno Air Races many years ago.
Saw a B-1 do a full routine years ago. Not just a fly by but a whole demo. They are almost as maneuverable as a fighter. Yeah a diamond formation of those would be incredible.

I would too, from a hilltop very far away. That’s not a show I would have full confidence wouldn’t fall out of the sky in tons of flaming metal. Id be nowhere near, but I sure would watch!
