B-1B Lancer lights up the sky
A B-1B Lancer deployed from Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota sits on the flight line, May 4 at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. The multi-mission B-1 is the backbone of America's long-range bomber force. The B-1B's blended wing and body configuration, variable-geometry wings and turbofan afterburning engines, combine to provide long range, maneuverability and high speed while enhancing survivability.
