Bomber Task Force flies over CENTCOM

A U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft crew chief, assigned to the 350th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron, poses for a portrait before an air-refueling bomber task force mission with U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortresses from the 5th Bomb Wing, Minot Air Force Base, ND, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, March 7, 2021. The bomber deployment underscores the U.S. Military's commitment to regional security and demonstrates a unique ability to rapidly deploy on short notice. The B-52 is a long-range, heavy bomber that is capable of flying at high subsonic speeds of altitudes of up to 50,000 feet and provides the United States with a global strike capability.
