US Air Force B-52 Stratofortress strategic bombers flew a marathon mission on 10 November 2021, taking off from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota to strike simulated targets in the North Sea region.

The bombers joined fighter escorts from the United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force, along with US Air Force fighters and B-1B Lancer bombers assigned to Bomber Task Force Europe.

The Task Force is a regular, rotational deployment of strategic bombers to Europe, which gives US air crews a chance to familiarise themselves with Allied airspace, infrastructure, tactics and procedures.

Currently, B-1B bombers from the Texas-based 9th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron are deployed to RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom.

Footage includes shots of B-52s, B-1Bs and an interview with Lieutenant Colonel Nathan “Griz” Jenkins, B-1B pilot and detachment commander.
