COMMENTS: - - Electronic warfare equipment on this bird will disrupt all radars, SAM sites and communications to an insane degree. Not to mention the 74,000lb INTERNAL bomb/JDAM load and Mach 1.25 speed. Complete death from above with fighter-like handling in a MASSIVE bomber. One of my favorite planes of all time.

Amazing video of this powerful plane. Just looking at her warming up gives me chills. I cover the pilots ground crew and engineers who developed this beast, and you for giving us this amazing view of a military aircraft.

Incredible video. It's hard to learn about some of these planes unless you can actually see enough of the plane to research it or actually formulate questions to ask others about it. These videos are so perfect that I was astounded. You can even see the air vortices (3:15 and 6:00) in the air intakes at the front of the engines.

Watching the crew board the plane reminded me of old footage of US Airmen boarding their B-17s to fly bombing missions over Germany. May the light of freedom shine stronger and brighter than ever before in America. god bless america

Thanks for the great images and sharing. I hope the exhaust keeps you nice and warm! I've asked this question elsewhere but never got an answer, it's about fairings on the engines covering the hole for the swept wings to fold in. Usually when the B-1 is on the ground, the skins are up, but

2:32We see them swing down and then up again when the bomb bay and rig doors are closed. In other B-1 videos, these fairings stay up during taxiing, but close as soon as the takeoff roll begins. Does anyone know why they do this and why they usually open on the ground but close as soon as the takeoff roll starts?
