EXERCISE GLOBAL THUNDER 27 - US STRATCOM OPS
A pair of B-52H "Stratofortress" bombers departed Minot AFB (KMIB) last night as "HUSH11" and "HUSH12" for a STRATCOM exercise flight to northern Europe. Due to some sort of mechanical fault, only "HUSH11" continued with the sortie.
It refuelled initially in AR-62E with a flight of 3x KC-46s as "FLAM67" flight flying from Pease (KPSM), before proceeding eastwards and meeting with "LAGER10" flight from RAF Mildenhall (EGUN) earlier this morning.
