To Launch a Lancer: B-1B Bomber at Red Flag

To launch a Lancer… The annual Red Flag exercise in Nevada brings in a lot of aircraft for combat training, including this B-1B Lancer.

The aircraft flew in from the 34th Bomb Squadron out of Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota not long ago. The crew shows us what goes into launching the Lancer, from maintenance through take-off.

Thanks to Airman 1st Class Dylan Maher for the video showing the backstory.
