B 52s Stratofortress Comes Home (2019) [Today]| B 52 Bombers Return From a Short Term Deployment
B-52 Stratofortresses return home after a short term deployment so RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom April 11. This deployment was a practice run in how the Air Force units might deploy in the future. This B-52 Bomber deployment was the largest deployment of single bomber platform (B-52 Stratofortress) since the beginning of the Iraq War.
Maj. General, James Dawkins, commander of the Eighth Air Force and Joint-Global Strike Operations Center, said in a Monday release that the deployment of a modified wing structure and not just a squadron will help “set the stage for future operations” which will help improve the wing’s agility and lethality.
