Eglin hosts B-1 test mission

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- Senior Airman Matthew Tutza, 7th Air Maintenance Squadron, walks toward a B-1B Lancer for his first ride in the aircraft as part of an incentive flight Sept. 24, here. Two B-1B Lancers were brought from Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, for test missions last week in an effort to better defend the aircraft for today’s warfighters and prove the strength of new software. The B-1 is a long range, multi-role, heavy bomber with a wingspan of 137 feet, and is capable of intercontinental flight unrefueled. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Sam King)
