​​​​​​​RAF Fairford Bomber Fleet Update #FreeIran

--- Operation EPIC FURY ---

Yesterday's arrivals:

C-5M "RCH5038" 87-0029 #AE057A

B-1B "PIKE72" 86-0120 #AE6BFA

Today's arrivals:

C-5M "RCH1884" 85-0001 #AE055E

B-1B "PIKE72" (the second?!) TBC
B-1B "PIKE73" TBC
B-1B "PIKE74" TBC

As I anticipated, the B-1Bs that flew to Iran before heading to RAF Fairford have flown their return journey over Europe, rather than flying the long way round via Gibraltar. I expect this may be the norm moving forward.....

3 of the 4 have flown to Iran overnight to bomb targets before heading to Fairford this morning. The 4th went straight to Fairford yesterday evening.
