Whenever the news bums me out, I come to channels like these and watch these videos of these amazing pieces of human engineering to remind myself that I'm damn lucky and proud to be born in the greatest nation on Earth: The United States of America. Godspeed!
The USA is not the greatest country. The greatest power is Russia. The USA is a jackal, devouring the weak, bringing death and destruction to other nations, and to its own...
I was around them quite a bit back in the 90s, the swept/delta wing design always made them look like a giant Tornado when they passed overhead, really cool, but not as cool as the Vulcan.
Good video! A bueatifull flying machine! seen from a different angle! Remember the first time I saw one in the raw ,30 years ago she took my breath away. the yanks have a certain style, which in my opinion is one on its own. Amazing engineering!
Man this is probably the absolute best footage I’ve ever seen of this beauty! Guess I never truly realized how mammoth these things really are! Thanks for an amazing video!
Had the honor to guard this plaine on my service in the belgian army. In 1991 it was the main atraction of the belgian airshow at koksijde. Saw this plane land when i was on duty. When it parked , a service van came to us and stopped. The crew said if whe want and take a closer look at it. One thing they said , please dont touch the plaine because it is so static loaded that you would be killed. When they release the stacic load into the ground whit cables.the pilots came out. Verry nice guys who asked to us if whe would be the guards for the plaine. Do you want to go inside it they said? Our mouths fell open, and we had the chance to go inside. Believe it or not. Never forget it in my life. In my 12 months duty this was one of the most spectacular things that happend to me.
I’m usually a fan of the aesthetics and sophistication of the stealth craft like the B2 and the F22 but this looks like some sort of boss level mechanical monster, it’s hard not love it, from the back it’s the coolest looking plane I’ve ever seen.
@Sanctuary Philosophy and Music: "boss level mechanical monster" is the best description I've ever come across about a B1. I love it! By the way, I find your screen name curious. It seems a bit contrary to the B1, such a loud, aggressive, death machine while your name seems so serene. Although I have to agree that the B1 IS "music" to my ears.
Agree my #1 fighter plane I’d choose is the f22 raptor and my #1 bomber I’d choose is the b1b lancer as it’s super sonic. And 4 massive engines without afterburner each engine puts out 17k lbs of thrust each x4 but with full afterburner each engine puts out 30k lbs of thrust each x4 imagine what 120,000 lbs of thrust sounds like from this massive bomber as it’s the heaviest and fastest and largest payload of 75k lbs of freedom delivery dropped by the bone.
@@lumpofdirt69 - LMAO!,..oh shut up,..LOL Why must so many people, like you for instance, make total foolish jerks out of themselves? Don't do that to yourself,...let someone else do it,... it's more fun that way.
Yes. I've been fortunate enough to have seen the B-1 and the B-2 in flight in my home state at least once each through the years. It was the same area each time, I-85 almost to South Carolina state line.
My buddy and I attended the air show in Oshkosh Wisconsin on a regular basis. This particular show featured the B-1 bomber which flew level about two hundred feet above the airfield. When it got to the end of the runway it made a sharp climbing right turn and hit the after burners which were aimed directly at the crowd. The massive thundering sound wave of those engines at full throttle and after burners felt like my body was in the ring with a Heavy weight champ. The words that comes to mind are pummeled and battered by oceans of air hitting me almost at the speed of sound. I turned to face away from the blast and it threw me to the ground. IMPRESSIVE. My buddy, who has since passed away stood 6' 4" and was thrown to the ground almost instantly. We both agreed this was the best show we had ever attended.
@@Dr.Pepper001 I was in nashville this year for a Titans game vs chiefs and they had a B-1 flyover. Same experience. It lit off all the car alarms. It was life changing. I found a youtube video of the flyover and it doesnt do it justice. You must experience it in person. It felt like the world was coming to an end. I will never forget it.
Ту 160,это машина для понтов,что и подтверждает ваш комментарий,а В1 это эффективное средство для прорыва мощной системы ПВО,рабочая ,эффективная машина
Definitely defines one extremely badass flying machine. Actually no other way to honestly describe how awesome this video is. Thanks very much for sharing this.
@@arnelpervandosmadrazo8479 Its just a small referrence to Americans"s fascination with "ass" and how silly it is."Bad ass, dumb ass."I killed his ass"; "We got our asses handed to us"."I decapitated his ass" is an awkward one since "decapitation" means u know what,etc and so on.They obviously think it somehow sounds "cool" but trust me it does"nt,at least not for someone who"s not born and bred in the US
Back in 1998 as a Canadian Military Engineer I was deployed to the former Harmon AFB, an old SAC airbase in Stephenville NFLD, Canada to be OPFOR for OP MARCOT, a large NATO amphibious exercise. Our mission was to defend the airbase and for air defense we deployed the Oerlikon Skyguard LLAD (Low Level Air Defense) system which was comprised of four twin barrelled 35mm auto-cannons that fired at 1100 rounds per minute. We were zoomed by a B1 practicing runway denial that couldn't have been more than 100' agl with all four afterburners ignited. The combination of the Bone and the anti-aircraft artillery firing blanks was all the noise that could be generated at once in the world. A couple of our guys actually crumpled to the ground and were rendered insensate for half a minute or so.
That much sound beats a pair of Tom Cats leaving the airshow at Offutt, turning away from the crowd, .and kicking the burners in. My chest was reverberating from it.That was decades ago.
Such an amazing video, the B-1 was one of the very first plastic models I ever built as a kid, it was about 18 inches from tip to tail. Even by today's standards, it still looks incredibly modern, and I love its Concorde like design, the adjustable wings, everything.
I was a mechanic on this jet for 6 years. It's a love/ hate relationship with mechanics and this jet. Standing next to it in full afterburner is a trip dood.
Same here. Was a crew chief on them up at Ellsworth. 2011-2017 Loved seeing the going up in the air. Hated them coming back down. As it was most likely code 2 or 3. Never code 1. Pain in the butt to work on. But so satisfying hearing her running.
could you gather some feeback of this sort of the Russian counterpart, maybe? ... [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-160 ] ... I am from "so-called" Western Germany, but those who are from the eastern parts of the "once was a country" Germany often mention how easy to maintain the Russian tech stuff was ...
Cheers for the phenomenal footage of this majestic aircraft, very much appreciated and envious of your ability to get so close, what an aircraft, thanks
as someone who is in the engine supply chain (non-military, non-destructive testing), i am amazed of the comfort level of the crew. being that close to an engine is danger
When we were launhing these things. And the engines were running. We were not allowed to walk within 25 feet of the inlet. So the front and sides. And 100 feet behind the exhaust when on idle. You didn't dare go behind the exhaust when throttled up at all. If we needed to work on anything in the nacelle while engines were running. We would go to the wing tip and then walk along the trailing edge of the wing with our tools. And open up the cowlings. I was a crew chief on them from 2011-2017.
Awesome footage and thanks for sharing. Hope the exhaust kept you nice and warm! I've asked this question elsewhere but never had an answer, it's about the fairings above the engines which cover the hole where the swept wings will fold into. Generally when the B-1 is on the ground the fairings are up, however at 2:32 we do see them cycle down and then up again when the bomb bay and gear doors were closed. On other B-1 videos these fairings stay up during taxiing but close as soon as the take off roll begins. Anyone know why do they do this and why are they generally open on the ground but then close as soon as the take off roll starts?
Below this fairing is Engine Bleed Air precooler. The reason fairings stay up during taxiing is to dissipate the heat trapped in the compartment containing the precooler maybe. Maybe this isn't required, but if simple means can cool it better, engineers will adopt it. The reason close as soon as the take off roll begins is to reduce air resistance. The reason fairings cycle down and then up again when the bomb bay and gear doors were closed is structure of the hydraulic circuit maybe. That's all I can tell from the books I have The only person who can answer your question accurately is someone who has a B-1 job.
@@エタ-x2o I was a crew chief on them from 2011-2017. And you are correct but there are also some main fuel lines and the primary fire bottle and backup fire bottle. It is a pain to work in there. Especially changing the precooler blower. The area is called the overwing faring and those also sealed on top of the wings when they were swept all the way back. There is also a switch on the nacelle to reset the OWF after the engines are up and running. After the engines were started. I'd have the fire guard wall the fire bottle to the wing tip. Then walk along the trailing edge of the wing. Open the panel and push the reset button. Then walk back to the wing tip and come back to me. While I was on comms with the aircrew.
@@Сергей-к6ъ2ш Для каких разных???? Ту-160 может сбрасывать бомбы (ковровая бомбардировка) может крылатые ракеты пускать, может ядерную бомбу кинуть (Как на херосиме было) может Ракеты с ядерным зарядом запускать , И может огромную скорость набрать 2200 км.ч . А этот Американец может что то ещё?
SR71 and B1-B in my opinion are among the most elegant and beautiful aircraft USA has ever made besides many good ones. B1B is an absolute beauty to look at.
Thankyou for this incredible footage of this raptor. The focus on the rear of the aircraft makes for really interesting viewing and awe! The design and the engineering of the AC from this rear position gives a whole new dimension as to the complexity and detail of the design when looking at it. I don’t how how that AC holds those engines on those wings and in one perfect piece. What I wouldn’t give to have a few hours flying time in one of these. Thanks folks - I don’t get overwhelmed by the design of modern AC but this is magnificent. This is what proper money will buy - the best!
This Bomber is an absolute masterpiece of design and technology, and the raw or those engines and how they create that unique tearing sounds is terrifying and awesome.
Last place my dad was stationed at in the AF. We were there 1960-63. He was an E-9 in SAC. Had B-47’s then. He said when the Bay of Pigs occurred the bombers were loaded on standby and ready to go.
Never noticed the pop up doors over the trailing edge of the wings before at 2.57 ..........any idea what for ? Or would I be right on this as part of the swing wing operation? 🤔
I'd like to know myself for sure but they drop down on take off and need to go up when the wings close , not sure why they taxi with them up and only drop them as they begin take off
@@slavaukrainifckputin4290 А может тебе пора учить русский или китайский? Много на себя берёте. Сейчас в Англии используют свои ракеты против России на Украине, и разрешили украине бить этими ракетами по территории России. Я так понимаю, что носители английского языка сильно желают сгореть в ядерном пепле?
What a machine! It has this futuristic look, especially from the rear. Almost spaceship like. And a bomber with four burners too 🔥. Lovely video, I'm feeling inspired by this one for the next B1s.
Amazing video. It's hard to learn about some of these aircraft unless you can see enough of the aircraft to actually formulate questions to research or ask others about. These videos are so perfect for that, I am astonished. You can even see the air vortices (3:15 and 6:00) on the front side of the engines at the air inlets.
High relative humidity and the pressure dropping in the center of the vortex cools the air enough to make water mist visible. I wonder if the vortex can pick up trash from the ground and damage an engine?
@pixelpatter01 it can suck in a person inside 10-15ft. Tarmac's have to be spot clean and regularly inspected by all personal for trash or debris (what's known as FOD(foriegn obect debris))for this very reason. You'll notice at airports there are half moon areas painted in front of the engines. You do not go in this zone with an engine running.
First assignment MX officer on the B-1B in 1991; new jet then. It's a MX pig - but without a doubt the most beautiful plane flying. And almost nothing can catch it on the deck. Note: They SHOULDNT be at Fairford! Too close. But better the B-1 closer than B-52/B-2s; Putin needs to know he's gonna get his shit knocked out if he escalates.
I used to redesign everything on the B-1B from ECS to Weapon Systems. I made the pilot to move the control surfaces ten times before the takeoff. B-1A has a better looking an entry stair. DY on the vertical stabilizer means the aircraft from Dyess AFB, I was there to restore aircraft from ECS overheat failure. I led a redneck crew from OK city. A hard landing was made by the inexperienced pilot.
@@АндрейЛ-м4ш Hold on there, Slavic brother! _Any_ aircraft is an ‘easy target’-except American stealth planes. Maybe Russia will have a production stealth aircraft soon. Be good, comrad. 💛
Thanks for your feedback , I don't zoom in on faces and edit out parts when there close enough to see in detail , there is a flight crew male on this vid that's borderline with as far as I'd go , I will learn to start pixilating for future vids and think about this vid regards the faces , thanks .
When I was in pilot training at Sheppard AFB we would do out-and-back training flights to Dyess from time to time, and the taxiway took you right behind some B-1 parking stands. I always felt awed by the size and configuration, and a little bit uncomfortable because four of those engines could flip a small aircraft in a heartbeat with minimal throttle input. We knew the the bone crews would surely pay attention to what's behind them when starting or taxiing, but it still was tough to take it for granted.
There's a retired B-1 as gate guardian at the aerospace museum southwest of Omaha that I see regularly. Recently repainted colorful camouflage. Beautiful impressive plane.
There's one inside the Museum of the USAF in Ohio and another one (A) model in Wings over the Rockies museum in Denver. Got to go inside one when it landed at my based back in the 90's.
I had the pleasure of witnessing and hearing Avro Vulcans land and takeoff when they visited the US back in the 80's, they would've given the B-1 a run for it's money in terms of noise level. The screech of four full throttle Bristol Olympus engines on the takeoff was quite the aural experience.
Absolutely fascinating video of an amazing aircraft, i reckon its a bit scary from behind it once those massive engines are spooled up. The bone is still the loudest aircraft I have ever heard, mildenhall air fete in about 94. Jeez that thing blew my ears
Сравнивать эти два самолёта, это как сравнивать внедорожник и кроссовер. ТУ 160 быстрее, дальше, сильнее и больше. Наш "Белый Лебедь" прекраснее во всех смыслах.
Tail code DY = Dyess AFB, Abilene, Tx. Texas aircrews just gotta start up those engines and create little mini tornadoes on the tarmac....taking a bit of home with them wherever they go.
Wow, I didn’t realize they were that huge!! Plus I didn’t know that more than two people operated them. They are awesome looking, I actually think that if the nose was tilted downward this thing would look like a concord
Россия когда села на колени после того как СССР исчез, попросила у США помощи в виде ношок буша. Так вот США свободна могла бы Россию опустить до дна, но заместо этого она помогла мясом. А вот Украина 2014 году во время своего слабого момента подвергся к конфликту которая Россия сама начала. Получается Россия скрысила пырнув нож в спину Украины.
If I had to pick a favourite miltary plane this would be it. This plane would not have looked out of place in the thunderbirds. Thunderbird 1 or the T BONE.
I saw one of these flying between a mountain range at low level between El Paso and Van Horn Tx. I was like WTF. I pulled over on I-10 to enjoy the scene.
