“Secret Squirrel” 25 years later

U.S. Air Force Col. Trey Morriss, the vice commander of the 307th Bomb Wing, gives an interview to the local news media on Jan. 13, 2016 on Barksdale Air Force Base, La. Morriss was an aircrew member of Operation Senior Surprise, or as it was nicknamed “Secret Squirrel,” a mission that kicked off Operation Desert Storm 25 years ago. Seven B-52G Stratofortress bombers flew for over 35 hours and 14,000 miles nonstop to complete the mission. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Dachelle Melville/Released)
