In defence of Nato: USAF B52 bombers head north for massive show of strength

Massive B52 bombers headed north from their temporary home in England to fly on a Nato mission in the Arctic today (Tuesday, March 13). It was the latest flight out of RAF Fairford since the aircraft arrived in Gloucestershire in February.

They flew over the North Sea region and then on the Arctic, the United States Air Force confirmed. It was the latest Bomber Task Force Mission in Europe.

B-52 Stratofortress aircraft, assigned to the 69th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron, departed from their temporary Cotswolds home and flew to the North Sea off the coast of Norway where they supported Exercise Cold Response 22. This is a Norwegian-led multinational NATO exercise.
