B-1B final is approx 155 +/- depending on weight.


For a 270,000# BUFF its 145 KIAS. Only one I ever memorized, actually wasn't
that difficult. BUFF flies down final at a computed "Best Flare Airspeed" + 10
KIAS. At 270K, best flare is 1/2 270 = 135, add 10 = 145 KIAS. The rest of the
weights I just look at the speed ring on the master fuel gauge.

Boy, it's a mixture of fun and depression to talk about flying when you're not
actively doing it...
