The B-1 has never seen this many upgrades in one block," said Maj. Thomas Bryant, the 337th Test and Evaluation Squadron assistant director of operations.

Things that make you say hmmmm.

If we ever get on our financial feet again as a nation, upgrading the engines to the F-22’s F119’s would make a new bird out of it. It was proposed once and B-1 drivers here on FR were drooling....

The B-1 and the Boeing B-47 are the two most aesthetically pleasing bombers the U.S. has ever built:

B-47

I was at an air show about 10-15 years ago and they had a B1 do a low altitude flyby...and,I think,the pilot lit up its afterburner (but,not having been AF,I'm not sure).Very impressive sight.

Awesome.

Having seen several B-1B night take-offs from Dyess and felt the rumble of the engines with afterburners in, this is an incredible plane.

Flies low and slow or fast. Carries the payload under the radar.

Ivan’s or Ishmail’s worst nightmare.

IMHO, one of the best-looking bombers.

Stick or yoke?

One of the most beautiful planes to ever take to the sky.

The B1 is now Facebook-capable. About damn time.
