U.S. Air Force F-15C Eagles, F-15E Strike Eagles, assigned to the 48th Fighter Wing, and Royal Air Force Typhoon FGR4s escort B-1 Lancer Bombers, assigned to Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, during a Bomber Task Force mission in the North Sea region, Nov. 10, 2021. The mission series demonstrates the U.S. Air Force’s unique ability to rapidly deploy to unfamiliar airfields and integrate with NATO allies and coalition partners. “Combining unique bomber strike packages with ally and partner capabilities offered within the European theater builds brings a force, which can counter any threat to our collective safety and security," said Gen.
