Description
B-1B-NR, 86-0099 assigned to the 28th BW based at Ellsworth AFB seen at Luke AFB for an airshow in March 1986.
This jet was still new when I shot this photo!
You can clearly see the color demarcation for the FS 36081 dark grey upper color and the FS 36118 Gunship grey undersides.

This was a really interesting scheme - looks great on the B-1

That was their 'delivery' scheme and the colors the jet wore while it was in SAC!

Cool. Even though an all gunship grey scheme is a bit dull, at least many B-1s have some great nose art!

This one was in the original "Strat" scheme. I wish TAC would have let us apply nose art to our fighters...

Saw one at the Air & Water show as a kid. It came in from the north FAST, then just suddenly shot almost straight up and climbed like a missile. The sight of something that damn big, flying as nimbly as a fighter, was unbelievable
