349th BS, USAF
The 345th Bomb Squadron (349th BS) is a United States Air Force Reserve unit, part of the 489th Bomb Group (489th BG), and associated with the 7th Bomb Wing. It is stationed at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, USA and has operated the Lancer since 2015.

Rockwell B-1 Lancer
The Rockwell B-1 Lancer is an American supersonic variable-sweep wing, heavy bomber, one of three strategic bombers of the USAF. It first flew on December 23, 1974, entering service in 1986 with Strategic Air Command (SAC). Conceived to infiltrate a high altitude, a role taken over by the cruise missile, Lancers were optimised for low-level penetration. Production ended in 1988 with 104 airframes of all variants built.
A feature of the B-1 is a Structural Mode Control System that automatically counteracts turbulence and smooths out the ride, especially at a low level, reducing airframe and crew fatigue. The crew consists of two pilots, Offensive Systems Officer and Defensive Systems Officer.
The Lancer is powered by two General Electric F101 after-burning turbofan engines, mounted two under each wing glove. Armament consists of six external hardpoints that carry up to 23,000 kg (50,000 lb) of stores and three internal bomb bays with a capacity of 34,000 kg (75,000 lb).
