A single Rockwell B-1 Lancer of the 34th Bomb Squadron, part of the 28th Bomb Wing at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota (tail Code 'EL') arrived at RAF Fairford for the 2025 RIAT yesterday, Tuesday 15 July.
The 34th Bomb Squadron is one of the oldest active squadrons in the United States Air Force, formed on 10 May 1917, less than a month after the United States' entry into World War I. It was the 34th that carried out the famed 'Doolittle' raid on Japan - note the tail fin B-25 anniversary artwork.
