From the cockpit of a B-52 Stratofortress from Barksdale Air Force Base, La., a fellow B-52 can be seen flying over the Gulf of Mexico Oct. 13, 2016. The B-52s were participating in an integration exercise between Barksdale’s 340th Weapons Squadron and the 77th WPS from Dyess AFB, Texas. The integration was the capstone event of a six month training course, involving extensive communication planning across more than 10 agencies within the bomber community, followed by a live-fly exercise.
