B-1 - probably an A model. Currently based at Dyess AFB and Ellsworth AFB.

One from Ellsworth crashed today while on a routine training flight. All four crew members ejected safely.

Update on this crash: It was a B1B model and it crashed in Montana.

Also said that the B1 has a 8,000 psi hydraulic system - that is more than double the 3,000 psi systems on most civil aircraft, or at least the ones I worked on.

Just an invisible spray from a small pin hole leak at that pressure can do some serious damage.
