Wow, that was one heck of a turn. He ended up east of KLGB before heading north.
No he made the normal departure turn, that is just where I was when I saw him.  But he did gain altitude pretty quickly.

About a 40 second piece.  It was shot from opposite of you guys.  Probably that parking structure.

You don't see a B-1 Bomber take off every day. looks like lots of people lining the fences of Long Beach Airport just waiting for those afterburners to light and the aircraft to lift off.

Thanks for posting the link for that article. That just shows the length of repairs needed to keep aircraft flying. Working at North Island like I do, I have seen thing done just on the F/A-18 aircraft from  fuelcell floors and lower center structure to complete Center Barrell changes done and even whole tail sections replaced skillfully and expertly done so that each and every aircraft will retain all of the services and performance that Boeing says the aircraft will do.  Its actuall really amazing all the things you have to do "under the skin" at aircraft overhaul facilities like The Fleet Readyness Center South West. FRCSW has a Machine shop and a sheet metal shop that can completely manufcture just about any structural part be it Aluminum, Titanium, or Stainless Steel, annoidize it, alodine it, plate it, clean it and paint it and then mate it to the aircraft drill the holes amd install the fastening devices.
