B-52s Fly Over All NATO Nations for the Second Time
June 1, 2021 | By Brian W. Everstine
B-52 aircraft deployed to Europe flew over all NATO nations in a single day, the second time in less than a year that U.S. bombers have flown this show of strength over the continent and North America.
The B-52s, which are deployed to Moron Air Base, Spain, flew over all 30 allied nations May 31, integrating with more than 20 allied militaries across two combatant commands as part of Operation Allied Sky, according to a U.S. European Command release.
The first leg of the mission included a flyover of all NATO nations in Europe, during which bombers conducted aerial refueling and flew with “several” ally aircraft. In the second leg, stateside-based bombers flew with U.S. and Canadian aircraft. The release did not specify how many B-52s participated.
