AFGSC paving way for B-21, begins retirement of B-1 aircraft

Marks identifying a B-1B Lancer as assigned to Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D., are removed at the base Feb. 16, 2021, prior to the aircraft’s divestiture. Divesting aircraft with the least amount of usable life allows Air Force Global Strike Command to prioritize the health of the fleet and crew training. The ability to balance these priorities will make the current bomber fleet more capable overall and give it more capacity. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman Jonah Fronk)
