    US Air Force "Bones" made a visit to Prince Sultan Air Base, where US F-22s and EA-18G Growlers are also deployed.

    It was the B-1B's first deployment to Saudi Arabia and comes after attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure in September.


Last week, two (according to other sources four) B-1 Bombers from the 28th Bomb Wing, based at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota, flew to Prince Sultan Air Base (PSAB), for the type's first deployment in Saudi Arabia.
