Watch This Amazing Video Of Two B-1B Bombers Arriving At RAF Fairford This Morning

A screenshot from the video showing one of the two B-1Bs landing at RAF Fairford on Oct. 6, 2021.
The BONEs are back to the UK for a Bomber Task Force deployment.

On Oct. 6, 2021, two B-1B Lancers from the 9th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron, Dyess Air Forces Base, Texas, arrived at RAF Fairford, UK, for a long-planned Bomber Task Force mission “a regularly scheduled U.S. European Command and U.S. Strategic Command joint mission series.”

Flying as “REMUS01” flight, the BONEs (from B-Ones), #86-0110 and #86-0140, arrived in formation and performed a left overhead break for landing.

The video below was filmed by our friend @Saint1 is particularly interesting. It shows, among all the other things, the break, the windy landing and smoking brakes of the USAF bomber. Amazing.
