Bomber Mission XXV - BUFFS go ROME-ing! #FreeIran‌
--- Operation EPIC FURY ---

Yesterday afternoon (19th March 2026) the US bomber fleet at RAF Fairford (EGVA) launched 2x B-52H "Stratofortress" bombers to Iran armed with cruise missiles. The bombers have just landed back at Fairford and were actively pinging on FR24/ADSB on their way home so OPSEC concerns are obviously not a thing now. The aircraft involved in this mission are:

B-52H "ROME85" 60-0007 #AE5871 "Guardians of the Upper Realm"
