Take-off of B-1 Bomber at Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota

Ellsworth is the home of the B-1B and the 28th Bomber Wing. When I toured the base on September 12, 2012, I was able to record a B-1B taking off. It's a four engine, variable sweep wing, supersonic bomber designed by Rockwell International (now part of Boeing). Max Speed: Mach 1.25. Max Range: 6,478 miles. Ceiling: 60,000 ft. Crew of 4.
