The first B-1B Lancer bomber has headed to the Boneyard, Air Force Global Strike Command announced Wednesday.
It's the first step in the Air Force's plan to divest 17 of the bombers in coming months, reducing the active B-1 fleet to 45 aircraft.
"Beginning to retire legacy bombers, to make way for the B-21 Raider, is something we have been working toward for some time," said Gen. Tim Ray, Air Force Global Strike Command commander, in a news release.
