Bombers based in Pacific
ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam -- Senior Airmen William Fay (right) and Kory McLeod prepare to launch a B-52 Stratofortress bomber during night flying here. The Airmen are 5th Bomb Wing crew chiefs deployed from Minot Air Force Base, N.D. They are among the first rotation of Airmen sent to Guam since U.S. Pacific Command officials decided to station a bomber force here. Officials said the continuous bomber presence is aimed at enhancing regional security, demonstrating United States' commitment to the Western Pacific and providing training opportunities that integrate bombers into joint and coalition forces in the Pacific.
