3/22/2011 - A B-1B Lancer soars over the Gulf Coast during a Combat Hammer Sortie on the Eglin Air Force Base range March 16. The bomber from the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess AFB, Texas, flew in and dropped a Guided Bomb Unit-32 during the week-long air-to-ground weapons system evaluation program known as Combat Hammer. The 86th Fighter Weapons Squadron hosts 20 to 25 evaluations at Hill and Eglin each year, assessing weapon system performance, reliability, capabilities, and limitations in realistic combat scenarios against representative real-world targets.
