Great shots, Brian! I have been to maybe 50 airshows but not once I saw the B-1 in the air, I have seen it many times on the ground as static display. Hope I will get some decent shots of this beast this afternoon, I have shot the B-2 flying quite a few times too.

A happy belated Canada Day!
Thank you
go get em Douglas!!! ...I also saw one at Nellis but it was also static, though i caught it when it flew out the next day after aviationnation was finished
now i B2 is something i have yet to see, static, in the air, nothing, nada and NEED to see
Thank you again and a Happy Independence Day to one and all of you
I still wish I had a camera the day the B-2, F-117, YF-22, AND YF-23 were in formation overhead back in January 1993. I've seen the B-1 in flight a few times, once was the one from Dyess that the nose gear got stuck and they flew it to Edwards to burn off the full tank of gas for six hours, before bringing it in for a landing. It's been at the airshow in Dayton a few times as a performer.
From my very first round of airshow photos
And Brian, come to NMUSAF, one B-2 on Static display permanently...

Excellent shots, Laura! My very first airshow was in 1990 in Dayton when I was a student at the Ohio State. That was my first year in the U.S. I remember Thunderbirds were there but can't remember what else I saw. I remember I had the impression that all the pilots with their Ray Ban sunglasses on looked like Tom Cruise in Top Gun.
I have seen the B-2 5 or 6 times, here are two of my favorite ones:

wow, that is an awesome formation, one for the history books!
you have me beat, my pics are back from 2016 airshow london, the B1 was static, these were departure day on monday, the B1 had engine troubles so it was the very last to depart by the time they ironed it out, by that time crews had removed all the temp fencing that was erected for the show so we got to go right up to the taxiways, the B1 crew came right out to us and they all posed together for a great shot of them in front of their baby
i would love to see it as a performer so get pictures with the wings swept back and hopefully with some vapor like you got
i will have to wait till the borders open, it is really killing me to be stuck in Canada and not being able to get into Minnesota, gods country along the shoreline of lake superior, ESPECIALLY during this heat, getting along the lakeshore is like mother natures air conditioner

I wish I had caught up here earlier - the local news didn't mention what was flying over Boston today. I assumed F-15s. If I had known what was coming, I would have gone into town. As it was, living NE of the city, I hoped to see the formation on approach from the back yard, but nothing.
Here are a couple B-1s from the MA2A trip with ISAP to Red Flag in 2010:
