US Air Force B-52 bombers make the skies shake during take-off at RAF Fairford

Four US Air Force B-52H Stratofortress bombers have begun flying missions in support of Bomber Task Force 24-3 at RAF Fairford.

The incredibly powerful and extremely loud warplanes are assigned to Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, and arrived as part of a routine deployment to US Air Forces Europe.

"This focus on integration is critical for partner building and maintaining the collective stability of Euro-Atlantic relations," said USAF Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Ruediger.

"Through multiple iterations of integrating with allies in the region, we learn to work together as seamlessly and efficiently as possible," he said.

"The missions we'll fly here allow us to identify limiting factors and increase interoperability to the maximum extent possible."

US Air Force Master Sergeant Parnel Brim, a 69th Aircraft Maintenance Unit production superintendent, said: "The main objective for us being here is to show support to our allies, Nato, and provide training to our aircrews on certain aspects of what the B-52 can provide."

The bombers departed from RAF Fairford to show America's ability to rapidly deploy and sustain operations great distances from the homeland.

The BTF 24-3 leadership said the deployed squadron is looking forward to conducting training and seeing the regional impact among its allies and partners.
