This was the second pass. I barely had time to pull the camera from the case and flip it on before the B-1 was out of sight. Click on the picture for a better view. The B-1 is centered. This was taken in southeastern Montana: tornados one day, B-1s the next. It's starting to get fucking weird out here, and this is coming from a born-and-raised Plainsman.

Good shot, MFT. How did you realize it was a B-1 and not a random commercial jet? Sound, speed, or color?
The photo is of the second pass. How I knew it wasn't commercial: the first pass was low, just about the top of the pick-up windshield (I couldn't get the camera out quick enough -- it was an awesome spectacle). Very close. The jet sound tfollows the plane about a half-to-a-mile behind. You'll hear the sound first, and then be sure to look way ahead of it if you wanna try spotting it. Fast movers, that's for certain.
AI, you'll also note in the pic I posted that the B-1 has it's wings extended, rather than drawn back. When it made the first pass, real low like, they were drawn back. WHHHOOOOOOOOOSSSHHHHHHH!!!!
