 US Flies Bombers over South Korea in Show of Force against North
 
Associated Press | Sep 13, 2016 | by Lee Jin-Man

OSAN AIR BASE, South Korea — The United States on Tuesday sent two nuclear-capable supersonic bombers streaking over ally South Korea in a show of force meant to cow North Korea after its recent nuclear test and also to settle rattled nerves in the South.

The B-1B bombers, escorted by U.S. and South Korean jets, were seen by an Associated Press photographer as they flew over Osan Air Base, which is 120 kilometers (75 miles) from the border with North Korea, the world's most heavily armed. The bombers were likely to return to Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, without landing in South Korea.

Heh.

The bombers should be flying with full payloads over NORTH Korea, and then returning empty...
