76-0174 USAF Rockwell B-1A Lancer bomber - a rare visitor to the Farnborough Airshow in 1982

Air shows of the 1970s-1980s
The Military Collection - bombers
Seen on static display - 76-0174 a Rockwell B-1A bomber - one of the highlights of the 1982 Farnborough Air Show. It wasn't in the best position to get a good photo :) This was my fourth visit to Farnborough, after debuting at the 1976 Air Show. In 1982, I also took the opportunity to make a follow-up visit on the Monday morning to see some of the departing aircraft.

One of only four B-1As built, 76-0174 is now preserved at the Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum near Ashland, Nebraska. This aircraft has conventional ejection seats and other features used on the B-1B variant.
