You don't hear much about this hot rod but it's mightily capable. I always thought of it as the muscle car of bombers, and all-around great plane.

Very amazing aircraft. It feels weird knowing its the only supersonic bomber in our air force to have swept wings. Now for the TU-160 Blackjack thats one heck of a plane but B-1B is a breath taker.

I suppose the efficiency vs. design cost, maintenance isn't enough to warrant more swing wings designs like the F14 Tomcat and F111 Aardvark. The moving wings look so interesting.
