360 degree image - B-1B Pilot Station

Very cool. I love that there is a place for a coffee dispenser behind the co-pilot's seat

Thanks for throwing us a bone.

Twenty years since I sat in that cockpit ! Thanks for a walk down memory lane! Oh the memories and stories of "the early years!" :-)

This was a million dollar tour for this retired arm chair aviator. Thank you very much.
I liked the separate throttles. The swing wing control was a HOOT!... and open the A/R door is a PULL of a lever. Where is the potty?

The nickname, "BONE" came from it's designation of B-1, or B-ONE: BONE

I oggled every inch of this composite shot. Being a half-arsed photog I appreciate this as a form of exquisite art. Well done.

You the man DB!!!!

That's very cool!

I know we don't want these guys getting too comfortable up there, seeing as they need to be extremely alert etc, but those seats would give anybody a backache! Surely that's not the best level of comfort the pilots can expect? But an excellent squawk, Dan.

I had the opportunity to sit in one of these years ago at an airshow in 1994 and it was cool, to say the least. Great picture, although it unfortunately does not show just how long the glareshield is.

But where does the Wizzo sit?

Two sets of throttles and variable sweep controls - wonder how that works.

Feel the power!

I hope everyone sees WALLACE24 comments. That is truly a classic!
To tell you the truth, I had to email a friend to find out what all that BONE stuff was all about a few years ago.
I've refueled them back to the tests of the B1A in 1975, but, never was stationed around them!

Awesome looking cockpit, but as a former Air Force Maintainer, we would never allow our flight decks to get that dirty or dusty.

really cool

Very cool! if you just go to nmus.afvirtualtour.com, you can get the same stuff from a lot of aircraft and positions in those aircraft. Now that I've found that I have to rate this very, VERY cool!

Thanks for this.

FABULOUS

great great !!

WOW! Nice view of a C-130 out the co-pilot's side window. Love the Herkybird. Especially when it's dressed "Spooky-style".

Glad it's not in the Bone yard :)

We've been talking about the B-1's moniker as opposed to it's official name, Lancer. I think this other names originate in the officer's club after a few rounds and humor prevails. When I went to the list of nicknames, I found the euphamism for the F-111 - the Triple Threat. What, you might ask did that come from? Here's an answer: it could bomb you; it could shoot you; and if all else failed, it could fall on you.

Excelent

fantastic airplane. Have been inside that aircraft. Ellsworth A.F.B., S.D. 1992

What, no cup holders? Must be nice to catch the latest movie from REDBOX on the green-screen monitors during those long missions on autopilot.

Nice!!

U.S.A.F. aircraft are always clean.

Will be interesting to see all those student pilots flying around Class C airports, along with the airliners, to get their required 3 takeoffs and landings at a towered field.

Very cool! Looks like shower curtain hooks behind the crew. What are they for?
