Feb. 26 (UPI) -- B-1 bombers flew the first Bomber Task Force mission since deployment to Norway, the U.S. Air Force said on Friday, a show of force near Russian naval bases.
The two bombers arrived in Norway earlier this week. Support aircraft and over 200 Air Force personnel arrived at Orland Air Base, where Norway's F-35 fleet is also stationed, in the first week of February.
