OVER THE PACIFIC OCEAN -- A B-2 Spirit bomber prepares to refuel from a
KC-135 Stratotanker during a deployment to Andersen Air Force Base,
Guam. The bomber deployed as part of a rotation that has provided
U.S. Pacific Command officials a continuous bomber presence in the
Asia-Pacific region, enhancing regional security and the U.S.
commitment to the Western Pacific. The Spirit is from the 509th
Bomber Wing at Whiteman AFB, Mo. The Stratotanker is assigned to
the Illinois Air National Guard's 126th Air Refueling Wing at O'Hare
International Airport in Chicago. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master
