B-52, B-1, B-2s participate in first integrated bomber operation in USPACOM AOR

A B-52 Stratofortress, B-1 Lancer and B-2 Spirit conduct a flyover at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, Aug.17, 2016. This marks the first time in history that all three of Air Force Global Strike Command's strategic bomber aircraft are simultaneously conducting operations in the U.S. Pacific Command area of operations. The B-1 Lancer, which arrived at Andersen Aug. 6, will replace the B-52 in support of the U.S. Pacific Command Continuous Bomber Presence mission. The CBP bomber swap between the B-1 and B-52 is occurring throughout the month of August as the B-1s return to support this mission for the first time since April 2006.
