It's a very sexy looking aircraft I must admit ;) :))
Even if it does look like a seal =)) (That's what mum said when I showed her my pics of one).

I've never seen one fly :(( :((
Only ever seen the one that was static at RIAT last year :(

Here is a picture from Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota. This B-1B belongs to the 46th Bomb Squadron of the 319th Bomb Wing. The photo was taken on the occasion of the Time-to-Climb World Record Flights done in February of 1992. My father flew on three of the record setting flights. This photo was taken with all the aircrew that praticipated. My father is second from right. The picture is not the best scan but at the present time it is the best I have.

Image

This second photo is of a sheet of paper that was given to everyone that was on the intial B-1B cadre of the 46th Bomb Squadron, it was an unofficial document but it is quite amusing. It definately highlights a bit of the rivalry between bomber crews and fighter pilots in the USAF. The actress they make reference to is Hanoi Jane.
