U.S. bombers take off for tri-lateral event
Staff Sgt. Devin Kempe, a 5th Maintenance Squadron crew chief, talks to pilots on the flightline at RAF Fairford, U.K., Aug. 27, 2020. Bomber missions familiarize aircrew with air bases, airspace, and operations in different geographic combatant commands. These missions build proficiency and confidence; if required, these bombers are able to execute decisive actions at the direction of the national command authority.
