The B-1B Lancer typically uses afterburners for takeoff, especially when operating at maximum weight or in high-altitude, hot weather conditions. Afterburners provide the necessary thrust to achieve the required takeoff performance in these scenarios. However, in certain circumstances, such as lighter loads or optimal conditions, the aircraft can take off without using afterburners to conserve fuel.

Yes
To use afterburners in Microsoft Flight Simulator X, apply full throttle.

The obvious answer is, until it runs out of fuel. If immediately after takeoff the pilot used his/her afterburners they would have about 7 minutes max.
Are you talking about the B-1 Lancer? Those are airship bombers

No, the Messerschmitt Me 262 did not have afterburners. It was the world's first operational jet fighter, powered by Junkers Jumo 004 turbojet engines, which did not feature afterburner technology. Instead, the engines relied on a simple turbojet design to produce thrust. The absence of afterburners limited the aircraft's speed and performance compared to later jet fighters that utilized this technology.
I believe about 65 are still operational, with some 20 'mothballed'.
There are currently 60-63 B-1 Lancers active in the USAF.
It's specified Max. Speed is mach 2.25 (1,500 mph, 2,410 km/h). It is the first fighter aircraft to achieve supersonic speeds without afterburners. (Mach 1+ without afterburners).
Overdrive afterburners, and supersonic flight capability- It is, alas, obsolete.
