A few days ago, four Boeing B-52H Stratofortress strategic bombers arrived at the Mor\u00f3n Air Base, in Spain, on a deployment across Europe..<\/p>\n

The first two planes arrived in Spain on February 24 from Minot AFB, in North Dakota, and the other two arrived two days later, according to Defensa.com<\/a>. The United States Air Force (USAF) today released<\/strong> several series of photos from this visit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The four aircraft belong to the 23rd Expeditionary Bomb Squadron, 5th Bomb Wing, based at Minot AFB, and the photos show the serial numbers of two:<\/strong> 60-0026 \"Dakota Avenger\" (cn 464391) and 60-0034 \"Wise Guy\" (cn 464399), both built in 1960. In addition, there are photos of the B-52H \"Black Widow\" 60-0056<\/strong> (cn 464399). These bombers have used Mor\u00f3n as a base for their flights through several European countries, for this reason there are photos of takeoffs and landings of several days. You can see some of those photos below.<\/strong><\/p>\n
