A modified F-15E Strike Eagle, assigned to the 494th Fighter Squadron,
launched on an operational training mission with the bomb release
unit-61 attached to the center pylon at Royal Air Force Lakenheath,
England, Monday. The aircraft was one of four to participate in the
first training mission with the new technology. The BRU-61 carries the
newest small-diameter bomb, the guided bomb unit-39, into battle when
the unit deploys in September. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class
