A B-52 bomber, deployed at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, from Barksdale Air Force Base, La., takes off for September?s Koa Lightning exercise. For the first time, B-52 crews dropped inert munitions on Pele Bombing Range, Hawaii. The munitions are made from concrete and have GPS guidance, which make them safe for the environment. This training provides valuable simulated combat experience for the aircrews and translates into raw global combat power against the continuing war on terrorism.
