My last aircraft, 88-93, although I was never an alert pulling crewmember. My FB-111 experience made me wanted as a staff instructor though.

"The B-1B Lancer, nicknamed the “Bone,” is the United States’s only supersonic bomber.
The B-1 compliments the other US bombers – the workhorse B-52 Stratofortress and the stealthy B-2 Spirit.
Unlike the B-52 and B-2, however, the B-1 is capable of breaking the sound barrier. That the B-1 can hit Mach 1.2 is especially impressive given that the bomber also can carry a 25-ton payload.
Despite the B-1B Lancer’s impressive capabilities, the bomber was canceled before entering service, and actually had to be saved from the scrapheap."...
