About the B-1B Lancer

The B-1B Lancer, nicknamed the ‘Bone’ by its crews, is a supersonic variable-sweep wing strategic bomber that has served the U.S. Air Force since 1986. Capable of carrying the largest conventional weapons payload of any U.S. bomber, the B-1B combines speed, range, and payload capacity with advanced avionics and low-observable technology. The 34th Bomb Squadron ‘Thunderbirds’ is one of the operational B-1B units, with a distinguished history dating back to World War I.
