Eglin hosts B-1 test mission
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- Staff Sgt. Jerome Smith, hands Maj. Scott Hall, 337th Test and Evaluation Squadron, gear for a test mission 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)
