The B-1 is a long-range, multi-mission and supersonic conventional bomber, according to the Air Force. It has served the Air Force since the 1980s and the United States eliminated the nuclear mission for the B-1 in 1994.

"The B-1 has been nearly continuously deployed in combat operations over Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001," according to Boeing Defense, Space and Security — a division of the Boeing Company.

While 100 were originally built, fewer than 60 remain in service at Dyess Air Force Base in Texas and Ellsworth Air Force Base, the Associated Press reported.
