90%+ sure it’s Julia Yaroshenko, but can’t seem to find either of those two pics online now. No idea where I found them TBH; those pics have been in my “beer, bacon, and boobs” folder on Smugmug for years.

A friend of mine was Air Force, and deployed in 2003 or 2004 (if memory serves). He said at night you'd hear and feel the rumble. He said "B1-B is in town." On take off, they'd point the nose straight up and immediately gain altitude.
A freaking bomber! USA! USA! USA!

No..
The B1 cannot go vertical and gain altitude. Their thrust to weight ratio is about the same as a B52, around 1-4. You need to be at 1-1 or less to be able to go vertical and gain speed.
I've sat at EOR with the F-4 and F-111. If you want to feel what real raw power is like, that's the place to be. I've only been able to sit on the taxi way when a B1 took off about 100 yards away. That was very impressive.
I’m thinking it wasn’t literal “vertical”
Was reading about f-22 and just how powerful /thrust
It has more thrust at combat power than a f-15C at max/afternurner
Also had more thrust at full burn (although different parameters and design) than a SR-71
Apparently it’s been clocked while super cruise at 1.6-7 Mach
Really cool article. I think Jane’s defense or one of those
