05/09/02 - WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio (AFPN) --
A B-1B Lancer crew successfully targeted three different weapon types against three separate targets in a single, 20-second bombing run on May 2 at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif.

“...the B-1 warfighter should have unmatched strike capability long into the future.”

“This release accomplished what would typically require three aircraft passes or coordinated strike of three aircraft,” Bunch said. “Using this new capability, the Air Force will be able to dramatically decrease the number of assets put in harm’s way during future aircraft attacks.”
