Bomber Mission 56 - Superhero B-1s #FreeIran!

--- Operation EPIC FURY ---

Yesterday's (5th April 2026) second bomber mission from RAF Fairford (EGVA) was a group of 3x B-1B "Lancer" in the afternoon, which arrived back in UK airspace a short while ago. While their outbound tanker support went undetected, their return support from Bucharest (LROP) was visible on tracking apps!......
