Welcome to the 4th episode of the Aircraft Legends Podcast and today we’re diving deep into one of the most feared bombers in the late history. It’s the B-1 B Lancer – nickname Bones! With its sweeping variable-geometry wings and powerful afterburning engines, the B-1 can fly at speeds over Mach 1.2. Its low radar signature and ability to hug the terrain at low altitudes make it hard to detect and intercept. The B-1B is armed with a massive payload capacity of both conventional and nuclear weapons—making it one of the most feared bombers in history. However, the bones are incredibly costly to keep in the air – which is the main reason why the B1 Fleet is being sundowned in the years to come. But until then, the B-1 stays a key part of the U.S. Air Force's long-range strategic bomber fleet.
