Used by the United States air force, it is primarily a low-level penetrator. The b-1b has long range capability and travels at high altitude with speed of Mach 1.25, and at low level speed of Mach 0.92. The b-1b celebrated its first flight on December 23, 1974 and became operational in 1986 with USAF strategic air command as a nuclear bomber. In early 1990S b-1b fleet was reassigned to air combat command and aircrafts were converted to use conventional and all-weather guided "smart" munitions. Its first combat mission occurred in 1998 during operation "desert fox" in Iraq. In 1999 it was again deployed to support operation "Allied force" in Kosovo. Commonly called the "bone", derived from "b-one", the b-1b holds 61 world records for speed, payload and distance.
