Which code is used for the B-1 Lancer?

• A. B2
• B. E3TF
• C. B1
• D. K35R

Answer: (C)

This tests how aircraft type codes are formed: the mission letter plus a model number identify the specific aircraft. For bombers, the code B-1 is the model used for the B-1 Lancer (officially B-1B in full designation). In many references you’ll also see it written without the dash, as B1, which is still referring to the same B-1 Lancer model. Among the options, that code matches the B-1 Lancer, while the others correspond to different aircraft or nonstandard codes. The B-2 would refer to the B-2 Spirit, and the remaining codes don’t align with the B-1 Lancer’s designation.
