A B-52 Stratofortress sits on the flightline at Andersen
Summary
A B-52 Stratofortress sits on the flightline at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, Aug.10, 2016. The B-52 was recently replaced by the B-1 Lancer, which arrived at Andersen Aug. 6, in support of the U.S. Pacific Command Continuous Bomber Presence mission. The CBP bomber swap between the B-1 and B-52 is occurring throughout the month of August as the B-1s return to support this mission for the first time since April 2006. The CBP mission is part of a long-standing history of maintaining a consistent bomber presence in the Indo-Asia-Pacific in order to maintain regional stability, and provide assurance to our allies and partners in the region.
