RAF Fairford 17 Sep 2026 | B-1B Lancer Jacked-Up for Gear Tests + 'TULSA45' Touch’n’Go!

Spent the morning of 17 September 2026 at RAF Fairford witnessing something really special — a Rockwell B-1B Lancer mounted on jacks undergoing full undercarriage operation testing! Fascinating to watch the gear fully retract and extend multiple times while stationary on the ramp Then the day’s single B-1B Training mission, callsign 'TULSA45', returned from training and treated us to a smooth Touch’n’Go before touching down and taxiing back to the ramp. Another unique perspective from Fairford — not every day you see a B-1B going through gear checks on jacks! 📅 17 September 2026 📍 RAF Fairford, UK #RAFFairford #B1BLancer #RockwellB1B #TULSA45 #USAF #MilitaryAviation #AircraftTesting #AircraftSpotting #UKAviation #Fairford #Bomber #AviationDaily www.ydm-aviation.co.uk
