U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Cody Owens, 28th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron flight controls journeymen, awaits engine shut-down of a U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer deployed from Andersen Air Base, Guam, at Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Sept. 21, 2016. Today, the Lancer conducted the closest flight to 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.
