Ok, here's one I saw and it seems familiar but I do not know its model. Could anybody help?

Looks kindof like a B-1B Lancer to me

Could be the TU-160 Blackjack, If it is a B-1 it would be a B-1A since those were the ones painted white.

Okay, guys, thanks. Does the USAF have an analogue to that, by the way?

Sorry, did a little more research and it actually is a USAF B-1A. That particular picture is of 74-0159 in early flight testing. In the larger picture here you can actually make out the USAF logo right behind the left engines. Same location (opposite side) as it shows up in the picture below.
