Flexibility Is US Air Force Bomber’s Greatest Asset
The Boeing B-1 bomber aircraft has completed its 10,000th combat
mission. The heavy bomber entered service with the U.S. Air Force
on June 29, 1985, and has been in nearly continuous combat for the
past 10 years. The milestone mission took off from a base in
Southwest Asia and was flown in support of operations over
Afghanistan before returning to base.
