Two U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancers, escorted by an F-22
Summary
Two U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancers, escorted by an F-22 Raptor, two U.S. Navy EA-18G Growlers, and a KC-135 Stratotanker, with the 28th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron, conduct a mission in the U.S. Central Command area of operations, Oct. 25, 2019. The bombers flew directly from their home station of Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D., demonstrating the U.S. Air Force’s ability to rapidly deploy strategic bombers anywhere in the world. Exercising the ability to operate bombers at expeditionary locations deters adversaries and demonstrates U.S. commitment to partners and allies in the region. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt.
