RAF Fairford recap: bombers deploy to UK for training operations
The “Spirit of Indiana,” a B-2 Spirit from Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., prepares to land at RAF Fairford, United Kingdom, June 8, 2014. The B-2 Spirit is a multi-role bomber capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear munitions. Its low-observable, or "stealth," characteristics give it the unique ability to penetrate an enemy's most sophisticated defenses and threaten its most valued, and heavily defended, targets.
