Presumably for departure of the C-5M. Otherwise, it looks like a down-day.

nick,

Thank you.

No problem

[mr stihl]

Do you not remember the B2 GP mission then?

[Thunder]

According to one source on here 'DOOM 12' did a flyover of some ceremony in conjunction with Saber Strike in Latvia on Monday 09th. DOOM 11 flt, 2 x B52 took off but for the best part of the mission DOOM 12 disappeared, returning later in the afternoon over Scotland.

[Ben Montgomery]

have the b-2s or buffs actually been involved in this sabre strike

Nope. Have a look here (more shameless plugging!)
