Bomber Mission 57 - Stilts for Bones #FreeIran!

--- Operation EPIC FURY ---

Yesterday's (6th April 2026) only bomber mission from RAF Fairford (EGVA) was a pair of B-1B "Lancer" bombers as "STILT" flight. While I was unable to identify any of the tankers for this one (reasons will become obvious in a post later today), we did identify the callsigns as "ROMA" flight. The bombers involved were:

Mission LVII
B-1B "STILT70" 86-0140 #AE6C0B "Last Lancer"
B-1B "STILT71" 86-0138 #AE6C09 "Seek and Destroy"
