B-1B Lancer makes closest flight ever to North Korea

A U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer, deployed from Andersen Air Base, Guam, lands at Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Sept. 21, 2016, as a strategic display of airpower. Today marks the first time the airframe has landed on the Korean peninsula in 20 years, as well as conducting the closest flight near North Korea ever. The B-1 is the backbone of the U.S. long-range bomber mission and is capable of carrying the largest payload of both guided and unguided weapons in the Air Force inventory.
