B-1s and B-52s Pour into Europe for Bombing Runs over Iran
(Air & Space Forces) Todd South - Nearly a dozen U.S. Air Force bombers, plus additional support aircraft, have arrived at bases in Europe as Pentagon leaders promise to ramp up bombing runs over Iran. Five B-1B Lancer bombers arrived at Royal Air Force Fairford, UK, over the weekend, and another three went to Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany, according to open-source flight tracking data and aircraft spotters. Three B-52s landed at Fairford on March 9. The new locations cut roundtrip flight times to the Middle East roughly in half for bomber crews.
