AL UDEID AIR BASE, Qatar --   U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Cody Patterson, 34th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Unit, performs a crew-station inspection on a B-1B Lancer, March 1, 2015, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. Patterson, a native of Marion, Va., deployed here from Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D., is a dedicated crew chief of the 34th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron flagship. The bomber's range and payload let it conduct multiple strikes with a large number of precision-guided munitions, which would require multiple combat sorties from other aircraft.
