For the first time ever a B-1 landed in the Arctic circle

During the flight, the B-1, alongside U.S. Special Operations Command Europe members, provided critical support to Norwegian and Swedish joint terminal attack control training.

Additionally, the B-1 conducted a “warm-pit refuel” at Bodo Air Force Station, Norway, during which the crew stayed in the cockpit while the B-1 received fuel so that it could return to the mission more rapidly. 

The B-1 also integrated with four Swedish JAS-39 Gripen fighter aircraft.
